Yoga as a lifestyle to me means slowing down in order to really "see" life and in order to slow down one must truly have faith in the universe and truly believe that everything that has come into your life or left is for a greater purpose (even the "bad"). Everyday is a practice and through practice faith deepens & becomes unquestionable.

As a practitioner of Hatha yoga for nearly a decade the physical practice has lead me down a road where my physical body feels strong and rejuvenated; this physical feeling has brought me mental stillness (stillness has many forms; calm and clarity in danger, peace and patience in a traffic jam an overall feeling of "I have arrived"); this mental stillness has led me to explore my inner state (my unconscious thoughts, feelings and reactions) deeper and the journey in Karma yoga and Bhakti yoga has taken me even further. It is through seeing this path that I have come to feel that this overwhelming love that is in my heart this love needs to be shared.
