Each new day offers a chance to live fully into our path and bring us more in line with our deepest intentions. The traditional sense of achievements are on pause, allowing us to carve out a path that is in integrity with where we want to place our attention and time. This is a recommitment to the love and enthusiasm we bring to this life and to each moment. The experience of India is the great teacher through direct, personal experience, observation of devotion woven into the fabric of daily life. She’s a complex place, filled with heart-wrenching textures, love, and awakening in equal parts. Her lessons are not of asana alignment—or of bodily postures at all—but a deep well of aligning with my inner wisdom and digging deep into a resource that sees beyond the wild external inequalities. I have a lifelong relationship with India and each time I return she humbles me, strips away excess and expectation. My many journeys to India over the past twenty five years have been invaluable in offering an opportunity to fully immerse in the practices of yoga. All of the concepts, theories, and practices come into context in the light of yoga's birthplace.
