You are the weaver of the finest silk thread. You are the creative artist of the inner landscape. And you are the voice of the sweetest heart. The cosmos has requested as your participation in this lifetime to be a yoga teacher and with this is a commitment to study and to live your yoga to the fullest. It is to refine your studies so that your knowledge becomes more and more crystal clear. With the confidence that arrives from deeper studies, greater populations will be served. This is the wish of Naturally Yoga. May all beings be given the divine practice of yoga with whatever body or mind challenges they may have. May all beings find freedom.
Seek the wisdom that will untie your knot. See the path that demands your whole being. Leave that which is not, but appears to be. Seek that which is, but not apparent. - Rumi
