Quote by Donna Goddard

“All the positions you learn in yoga are done in order to learn how to not take positions in life. You like this person. You don’t like that one. Life must be seen freshly. Everything is a possibility. When I see you, I look at you freshly. What are you, at this moment? We must get rid of all our positions. That is a great weight gone.”

“Person wearing an apple watch is like a dog with an electric collar - every time the dog does something wrong it receives a high voltage shock, thus conditioning it to walk the line - likewise a person receives a vibration every few minutes that keep them craving for more attention all hours of the day.”

“I learned very early on that a human is not merely comprised of only one thing. We are two parts that make up the whole. We have our conscious, which includes our mind, our soul, and all the intangible parts. And we have our physical being, which is the machine that our conscious relies on for survival. If you fuck with the machine, you will die. If you neglect the machine, you will die. If you assume your conscious can outlive the machine, you will die shortly after learning you were wrong. It's very simple, really. Take care of your physical being. Feed it what it needs, not what the conscience tells you it wants. Giving in to cravings of the mind that ultimately hurt the body is like a weak parent giving in to her child. "Oh, you had a bad day? Do you want an entire box of cookies? Okay, sweetie. Eat it. And drink this soda while you're at it." Caring for your body is no different from caring for a child. Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it sucks, sometimes you just want to give in, but if you do, you'll pay for the consequences eighteen years down the road.”
