Life is a stretch, frequently presenting last-minute, unexpected change. Through our yoga practice we gain experience at bending our bodies, our wills, and mind to any task with a certain amount of equanimity and ease. One of the gifts of yoga is that it teaches us that true flexibility means adapting to the change in every moment, while maintaining a spirit of calm, devotion and love. Given the time and attention we can create our own source of comfort. No matter what the circumstances we can draw flexibility and strength from our practice (and our community). This resource allows us tap into a powerful source of personal energy composed of: physical resiliency, emotional maturity, and spiritual optimism.
