#roottorise Practicing yoga doesn't mean you become a pushover, wishy washy, or even a pacifist. We learn to stay rooted in our power (Source), maintain integrity with an open heart, never sacrificing form for distance. Or, as my dear friend Sam from @adelaideyogaflow put it "Grace before Pace." Practicing yoga allows us to discover what is most important in our lives, and cultivate a foundation from which to live authentically with integrity and love. The gifts of living an integrated life of mind, body and spirit is that of strength, peace, joy, freedom and LOVE! We are warriors of the heart, root to rise!
