Genetics + Experience = Potential

Our potential is a combination of our genetics and our experiences.  What we are born with and what reference material we use in making decisions. 

Experience is a moment of your attention that you store in your mind and in your body. (Joy, anger, fear, etc)  Genetics cannot be altered but experiences can be reprogrammed with the data rewritten.

Yoga is the inner feeling.  Poses are a map to our experiences (tensions or tight/blocked areas).  Open them with deliberate and delicate use of your breath and your intensity in the pose and your mental focus. 

Wait, Watch and Observe.

Proceed when your body tells you to increase the intensity and back off when your body speaks in pain. 

Remove the “outside objects” standing in the way (such as anxiety, lethargy, mental chitchat or negativity) deliberately with your breath, your intensity in the pose and your mental focus. 

Look for the place inside of you where you are simply looking at a reflection of yourself without obstruction. 

Breathe and enjoy-this is yoga.  Yoga is a moment of your attention.
