“Every yoga class we take is like a really compact adventure. We don’t know the poses we’re going to do, or in what sequence, and we certainly can’t know the outcome in advance. We just have to give ourselves to it without knowing how it’s going to work out. It is this ability to take a leap into the unknown with mindfulness and grace on the mat that we take with us off the mat and into our daily lives.”
