People taking pictures
I’m not much of a picture taker. I get far too involved in the moment to remember I have a camera. When we are in a state of vairagya, we are so present that there is no desire, we simply are. Yoga is the process of creating and refining this capacity for stillness.

Just keep me moving
The yoga practice is always one of becoming. No pose lasts forever, for which we are thankful.

The Letting Go
We don’t mourn each pose as we move out of it. We don’t mourn each breath that passes. Why should we mourn the less important things.
The first step is making a choice. The second step is making a choice. Choosing is the process.
We have chosen to be here. Let us devote ourselves to this moment.

We dedicate ourselves not to isolating ourselves from the world, but to discovering the richness the world presents to us. This takes practice and dedication. It takes our whole lives.
It’s easy to mistake desire for dedication, enthusiasm for action, knowledge for capability. What defines our yoga practice is the practice. Consistent practice over a long time is more effective than inconsistent bursts–cramming is not the practice.
