delight watching their
students evolve. So I
asked:
“What gives you delight
in your yoga practice
right now?”
“When I’m able to focus
entirely on my breath,
disengaging from asana
and maintaining an consistent vinyasa, that delights me in my practice.”
- Ruth Zive, an inspiration,
five kids! 5:30am daily

gratitude, as my yoga
practice continuously
informs me of who I am,
what I value and what
I am learning today
through a physical and
spiritual experience.”
- Sari Nisker, Spynga. She
holds a calm space for
all.
“The sun shining through
my stained glass window
and altar gave me delight this morning.”
- Nicky Poole, 889 Yoga.
Her generosity is beyond,
as I witnessed.
“Daily, through morning
sit and physical practice
I am reminded of the
magic of movement, a
connection to the stillness
within my creative being,
a feeling of freedom, and
my closest connection
to magic..I thrive in the
magic of movement.”
- Amber J , Misfit Studio.
“I helped a student overcome their fear and they
did a yoga asana they
never thought possible.
Now they will ask themselves, ‘what else can I
do that I never thought
was possible’.”
- Daniel Lacerda, Mr.
Yoga.
“When I can really dropin and get completely
lost in my practice, I feel
a sense of warmth and
connection that is nothing short of delightful.” Kate Gillespie. So strong,
kind and inspiring.

room full of other yogis
with good jams.”

and bring a smile to my
face and peace to my
heart.”

practice, I experience

life.”
