Compassion Is The Heart Of The Matter: Teaching Flow and Restore Yoga at 808 Welllness: Kihei, Maui, HI: November 12, 2018

Maui office with Lucy and Star alongside cheering me on!

After my Not A Heart Attack episode, there is really only one alignment to teach for this weeks class, karura. All spiritual traditions say compassion is the heart of the matter. Since my endeavor to align landed me at Urgent Care, I figured I have a lot to learn

I'm really bad at it, sort of a 'get a job' attitude, which is probably what people say about me and my yoga and touring lifestyle. "Be compassionate", the saying goes, "to everyone you know because you don't know what wars are being waged below". What's so easy to forget is that these are shared wars.
