Key Points

·      No posture makes you happier; self-acceptance is key.

·      Practice alone is not stronger than genetics; genetics play a crucial role.

·      Breathing is essential; it dictates how we do postures.

·      Tradition in yoga is less important than personal understanding.

·      People's bodies don't open by being pushed into postures; they open themselves.

·      Being a good teacher is not about being the best practitioner.

·      Yoga means more than just union; it's a multifaceted practice.

·      Making your whole life yoga can lead to a narrow perspective.

·      Practice is for life, not the other way around; enjoy life outside of yoga.

·      Giving back postures can be more liberating than holding onto them.
