“If someone wounds your heart, instead of understanding or reasoning or searching for the weapon, spend time, as a mother does to her baby, to care for the hole in your own heart.”

“Use asana as a tool along the path, not as the body's destination.”
“Take time during your practice to move through each posture with increased awareness of the subtlety of each moment. Notice any shifts in the breath, in sensation, in the mind.”
