Confession: the most spiritual thing I do most days is wake up before I want to and put on my running shoes.

No cosmic moments, just cold air and one foot in front of the other.

What does your practice look like from the outside?

Have you ever understood a teaching only by living it?

Ease comes after steadiness, not alongside it. The race showed me.

What has living taught you that studying couldn't?

The first silence I experienced wasn't quiet.

When I stopped speaking, what rose up was everything I'd been drowning out.

Have you ever sat with real silence, not just quiet but the kind that reveals what you've been avoiding?

Ananya said: 'Prana is not something you breathe in. It is something you are made of.'

I practiced yoga for five years before I learned what yoga actually was.

The first sutra changed everything: yoga is stilling the mind, not mastering poses.

My grandmother practiced yoga for fifty years. She called it sitting down.

Asana means seat. Not pose. She had it right all along, the vocabulary just hadn't caught up.

My teacher smiled when I said namaste in Rishikesh. Not the smile of a thing going well.

He waited. Then asked: 'Do you know what you just offered me?' I didn't.
