On Difficult Relationships (Video)

I love this video. It brings to mind some very specific people from my life... and it's quite thought provoking so I highly suggest you watch it. If “The Job of the Spiritual Friend is to Insult You”, then I have had many spiritual friends in my time. To my readers who have trouble with videos, here's a couple of main quotes from it:

“In order to become a completely loving person, a flexible person, you have to see where you’re hookable...If you really want liberation, if you really want freedom, you need people around to be provoking you to show you where it is you still have work to do.”

Celebrate Local Teachers

"I believe that we can once again celebrate local yoga teachers for the great work they do each day to help their communities get healthier and more vibrant through yoga. I mean let’s face it, not too many other jobs require you to be newly inspired on a daily basis in quite the same way. Not too many jobs can make an impact on people’s every day lives. It is the local teachers who are the glue that keeps the community thriving. It is the local teachers who spark the fire consistently in yogis of all levels to live more meaningful lives." - Amy Ippoliti
