Because yoga was never, ever, about always feeling good, happy rainbows and unicorns, but about facing our demons so that we might finally, finally let them go and in doing so, 
have compassion for others.
And that my friend, is Yoga.
C Garrett 
 

The path to yoga is like the sharp edge of a razor, narrow and difficult to tread, and there are few who find it. The yogi knows that the paths of ruin or salvation lie within himself.
B.K.S. Iyengar

"No words can describe the experience of the Northern Lights show tonight," says Óskarsdóttir. "This is just a 1 second exposure!"
(Thanks Solar Flare!)
