Freedom is what you do with what’s been done to you

-Jean Paul Sartre
When we are attentive to our actions we are not prisoners to our habits; we do not need to do something today simply because we did it yesterday. Instead there is the possibility of considering our actions fresh and so avoiding thoughtless repetition.

So we see that there are many possible ways of understanding the meaning of the word yoga. Yoga has its roots in Indian thought, but its content is universal because it is about the means by which we can make the changes we desire in our lives. The actual practice of yoga takes each person in a different direction. It is not necessary to subscribe to any particular ideas of God in order to follow the yoga path. The practice of yoga only requires us to act and to be attentive to our actions.

“Catherine has had a huge impact on my practice. She is generous and enthusiastic and looks for ways to help me grow. If the first way doesn't always work, she keeps coming at it from different directions until she finally finds the key for me. She has not just helped my asana practice but has also helped me on my spiritual journey.” -Cheryl K
