I was really inspired by the Obama inaguration on Tuesday. I loved that he said that there will be no handouts, we need to pick ourselves up, dust off and begin again. You can so relate that to your yoga practice-you really have to surrender yourself to the universe to help you learn more and grow. I have done a lot of yoga and each day it opens up a new space where things are stuck and some days I feel like I want to run away-the most important thing is to stay open to the experience, be strong and try not to attach to what your ego is telling you. Take this new start in our government and clean your slate and start again. Most people do new years resolutions and don't keep them up. Try and start with a simple goal - Smile.
