Your Strength is not in your muscles. It does not come from fighting negative situations or winning against a negative enemy. Your strength is in your calmness, in the clarity of your mind. Strength comes from putting the negative aside without reacting. Win in calmness, in consciousness, in balance. Win without fighting.     ~~ Yogi Amrit Desai  ~~

Another Quote I'd like to share is from Ghandi " Shaking the world Gently"

Often we seem to forget that yoga was developed to help meditation. Meditation is the true Yoga practice- all the asanas evolved for supporting better meditation, which in turn supported more asanas and better physical flexibility and strength, which supported better meditation, which supported more mental clarity and flexibility in the mind..... Namaste, ~CB ~

As a yoga instructor it is important to serve students responsibly and ethically. Yet so often the people who most need yoga (those who are Obese, out of shape or suffer from disabilities, and the aging are put off by classes were instructors do not know how to meet their needs- There are instructors around who can serve these people, but not unless studios and instructors welcome them and meet them where they are at. - Namaste, ~CB~
