Calm Spirit
“Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.”
I think that St. Francis de Sales may have been describing my yoga practice in this quote. He describes what I try to do on my mat - I try to move slowly and find that sense of calm within. It isn't always easy, and sometimes the craziness of the world can move me from that calm spirit, but I know that I have the tools to keep going back to find that sense of inner peace.
This is why I love yoga.
