“Breathing is one of the simplest things in the world. We breathe in, we breathe out. When we breathe with real freedom, we neither grasp for nor hold on to the breath. No effort is required to pull the breath in or push the breath out. Given the simplicity of breathing one would think it was the easiest thing to do in the world. However if it were truly so easy there would be few unhappy or unhealthy people in the world. To become a welcome vessel for the breath is to live life without trying to control, grasp, or push away. And how easy is this? The process of breathing is the most accurate metaphor we have for the way that we personally approach life, how we live our lives, and how we react to the inevitable change that life brings to us.

This interview was wofenrdul!. I have gotten away from yoga, which I loved, after having to stop my twice a week class. This makes me determined to start practicing again. I have gained weight and did feel as comfortable as before. You answered questions I had about how long a pose should be,etc. that had not been answered in various classes. My best teacher did the eye exercises and they really work. You also have a wofenrdul laugh and joyful attitude that made listening to you a pleasure.[]
