In a capitalistic society, rest is a rebellion.

“..and that’s what yoga is..the surrender of the things I don’t know that I’m hiding from or even that I have to deal with…but it’s coming up and coming out..and I’m going to roll with it….”

-Robin Wilner

Yoga is really a mindset. SO if you’re doing something that’s physically challenging, where does your mind wonder to? Where is your breath? Defining yoga as just something that happens on our yoga mat and is just these ubiquitous postures is really limiting and doesn’t honor where yoga comes from in the first place.

And I think that’s what guides my practice..where is my body speaking to me, and how can I get into that place no  matter what it looks like. 

-Valerie Starr, Homebodies Yoga Podcast, episode 5

“I’m not the kind of person that says, “shucks, that doesn’t exist” I say “I guess I need to make it” 

“I don’t always think about having any intention in my practice..but I have such an obvious intention ...which is to do art without feeling pain.”

It’s all about paying attention

I think we tend to limit what’s spiritual and what’s not, when really everything is spiritual, and theres an opportunity for service in everything. 

Yoga has always encouraged us to do this internal work so we can then show up for the world around us.
