Yogi Life Lesson #10: Lose the Weight (Not the Kind You Think)
Sure, if you're an avid yogi - you're bound to lose weight (hell, if you're a hot yogi - you probably lose 5 lbs of water weight a class), but that's not what I'm talking about. Almost all of us carry around our pasts and the burdens from the same... Continue reading

Your perception may be your reality - but that "reality" is clouded by your habits and by ways of perceiving situations that you've been mechanically carrying out and repeating for years.
