Our yoga practice is an opportunity to learn new ways of being in our body, heart and mind; with persistence and with grace, a resonance of clarity, calm and courage will follow us off our mat or cushion into a more skilful, less harmful way of living our lives.
From Tias Little: ...practice is preparation for how we live our lives. Yoga and meditation are all about alertness, readiness, [sensitivity] having all systems go so that we can engage in the world with open hearts and clear minds....participat[ing] in the world without clinging.
