We fall head over heels in love with yoga and then want to go deeper. It becomes a challenge to defeat poses that are not easy for us, but we rise to the occasion. Then we take this same strength off the mat into life to master the roles we'd find difficult. We would like to make life one giant yoga class and have everyone go inward to that sense of peace and centeredness that we feel while doing yoga.

Many of us hound the calling to go deeper and share this love of yoga with others. The 1st reason many wish to study yoga is to reach that higher place in ourselves and stay there. We would like to develop the qualities we see in the yoga instructors we admire"a sense of calmness, a capability to face life's challenges with balance, a sense of returning home to our spiritual center, and having the ability to live life from that deep inner strength and wisdom.
