“Follow your nature. The practice is really about uncovering your own pose; we have great respect for our teachers, but unless we can uncover our own pose in the moment, it's not practice - it's mimicry. Rest deeply in Savasana every day. Always enter that pratyahara (withdrawn state) every day. And just enjoy yourself. For many years I mistook discipline as ambition. Now I believe it to be more about consistency. Do get on the mat. Practice and life are not that different.” YearsBelieveDifferentStatesMomentsI BelieveEnjoyInspiringPracticeTeacherDisciplineAmbitionWell BeingConsistencyGreat RespectEnjoy YourselfUncoveringMimicry Author:Judith Hanson Lasater
“You can't make yourself be compassionate, you can only keep stepping back and becoming a larger container in which compassion wants to live. The practice should open us up, and crack open our hearts again and again.” WantShouldHeartCompassionPracticeBecomingCracksCompassionateAgain And AgainContainersStepping Back Author:Judith Hanson Lasater
