 It is so tough to have a daily practice. The dedication it takes to show up when you are not feeling energized and inspired and beautiful and progressing......is something I am yet to master. Yet this is where the true transformation takes place--when you come to your mat even when you don't feel like it. Just to observe, to surrender, to let your body wring your mind out. Here's to practicing with zeal.
