Yoga and meditation have helped me throughout stressful situations to not become madly driven by the demands at hand.
The practices have kept me better focused on being compassionate and balanced in situations that might have otherwise triggered compulsive stress responses.
I have found consistent yoga and meditation a mainstay of support during my 36 years as a teacher and 23 as a parent.
This is yoga in action–keeping focused on constructively helping others and me no matter what the stresses, and staying more centered, balanced, and loving amidst it all.
