Key Points
· No posture makes you happier; self-acceptance is key.
· Practice alone is not stronger than genetics; genetics play a crucial role.
· Breathing is essential; it dictates how we do postures.
· Tradition in yoga is less important than personal understanding.
· People's bodies don't open by being pushed into postures; they open themselves.
· Being a good teacher is not about being the best practitioner.
· Yoga means more than just union; it's a multifaceted practice.
· Making your whole life yoga can lead to a narrow perspective.
· Practice is for life, not the other way around; enjoy life outside of yoga.
· Giving back postures can be more liberating than holding onto them.
