Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother. Khalil Gibran

Lino Miele practising Navasana. Amazing to watch the grace and flow of this Ashtanga yoga practice.

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. Mother Teresa

Back bends are one of my greatest challenges, so to observe Sharath Rangaswamy, a great teacher practising them is incredible. You are really able to listen to the flow of his breath throughout the asana practice too, reminding ourselves that this is about the breath as well as the pose.

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day. Dalai Lama

I have had a pretty unsettled few weeks with my yoga practice. I have been so busy with other things and teaching yoga classes that I have not been able to practice yoga the way I would like to. Today I was able to get on my mat and do a full primary series. This was fantastic, and what a gift Guruji has given us all, by handing down this Ashtanga yoga. Yes, I was a bit of a cart horse today and, no, I couldn't get all the binds that often come with ease. I do however, completely accept, that this is how it is today. That every yoga practice is just that, "practice". That binds and poses will come and go, but the yoga - like a really good friend - is always there for me.

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind. Buddha

Death most resembles a prophet who is without honour in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people. Khalil Gibran

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive. Dalai Lama

Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence. Buddha

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Khalil Gibran

I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world. Mother Teresa

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence. Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come. Dalai Lama

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed. Khalil Gibran

God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try. Mother Teresa

A riot is at bottom the language of the unheard. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher. Dalai Lama

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind. Buddha

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. Khalil Gibran
