Take what you practice on the mat, off the mat and into your life.
Deep breaths, long limbs, lifted crowns, rooted stances that steady your days.
Take your long spine and empowered core with you as you travel.
Sink deep into the Earth when you feel untethered.
Lift your crown to the heavens affirming the connection to all that is,
Take your strength and flexibility into the heat of any given day.
Let your vibrancy be contagious, shining it when humanity is feeling dull.
Lead with your open heart.
Let your love spill out into— and heal— this imperfect world.
And please remember for the day ahead of you—
It really is all about love.
