I was always moved by human relationships. In the yoga path the most important relationship is the one we build with ourselves, and it is absolutely true that whatever happens, at many situations that we deal with in our life we are on our own, as much support as we have from our partner, our …
This an amazing text for breath or Prana. I found it in the book The Art of Vinyasa of Richard Freeman and Mary Tailor.
