Practicing Asana is a choice: No one forces us to roll out the yoga mat and go into Down Dog.
 
Practicing Asana is difficult: The body is tight. Old injuries hinder us. Frustration is always looming. The mind races!
If I can keep the breath, body and mind calm during my practice then I can keep the breath, body and mind calm in situations that are out my control.
 
What to expect from my class: My teacher says, “If I fall that means I’m getting good!” In my class we make the impossible possible by jumping, flying, floating, levitating through class! Who cares if we can actually achieve a certain pose today? What matters is that we try. And everytime we fall, we don’t get discouraged, instead we get encouraged to try again.
 
Love to my mother, Zhana Galjasevic, for dragging me to my first yoga class way back in the Summer of 2000.
Love, love, love to my teachers Raghunath Cappo and Sondra Loring.
