...nowledge every day, for the safety of your students, to enhance your yoga teaching practice, and to improve the lives of all those who learn from you.

The Purpose of yoga - Creating the World From Within

...within itself. Although, most people do not value intangibles, it does not make them worthless.

How many people value good health, real friends, a healthy daughter or son, being pain free, or a happy marriage? Be careful what you take for granted. What is your life worth? Can you place a dollar value on it?
