Or, we don't fit into the typical "extrovert" social cliques because the idea of meeting others at ba …

I am new to Chicagoland area and slowly finding spaces in which to teach. Yoga has scientifically proven results in terms of chronic pain and …

… What in me causes the suffering such as frustration, anger, disappointment, fear, anxiety and so on. What are my beliefs and concepts, what is the image about myself, who do I believe to be, how do I believe I should be?” Staying with these kinds of questions in a meditative rather than analytical way makes all the difference.
