“As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.” – Rumi
“On my wall I have a picture of a rope hanging bridge, across some sort of jungle. You can only see the beginning of the bridge as the end is hidden in the mist of fog. Something is holding the bridge up on the other side. Trust your path and your journey, start walking even if you don’t see exactly where you are going. You destination will only appear once you pierce the fog of ‘limited awareness’ and submit to your limited mind’s perception.” – David Scott
“The person who insists on seeing with perfect clarity before they decide, never decides. To end in certainty we must first begin with doubt.” – David Scott
“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Change your perspective and change your world.”
When you plant a seed of love, it is you who blossoms.
Your soul is your best friend. Treat it with care, nurture it with growth, and feed it with love.
“Be kind to your soul and body today, the world is hard enough on you. There are very few people in this world that will do something kind for you unconditionally, expecting nothing back in return; so treat your self-tonight and feel grateful that you are doing something good and healing for your soul..” – David Scott
“There is no need to be perfect to inspire others. Let people get inspired by how you deal with your imperfections.” – Kathryn Budig
“Yoga is not about touching your toes, it is about what you learn about yourself while trying to touch your toes.”
“Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.”
“As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.” – Rumi
“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” Anais Nin
“If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.” William Blake

“Yoga uses the body to discipline the mind and to reach the soul.” ~ BKs Iyengar
“Yoga is a 401k for the body and mind. It is your investment in your future. You are only as young as your spine remains flexible and only as wise if you can master the chaos in the mind.” – David Scott
“A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.” – Ken Keyes

“There is a voice that doesn’t use words, listen.” – Rumi
Right now, with all of life’s uncertainties, who knows where we will be a year from now? “Sometimes the dreams that come true are the dreams you never thought you had. Learn to take risk… If you win you will be happy, if you lose you will be wise.” ”
“What is it you are so busy running from? You run through the world like your trying to outrun your shadow. We often run all the time just to avoid coming face to face with ourselves. Slow down; come back to the moment you are living and for once experience the richness of life. Just as the body needs exercise and movement, the mind needs stillness. Make time for both.” – David Scott
“How can we expect someone to make us happy, if we are not happy with ourselves?” – David Scott

“Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.” – Rumi
“The answers you seek never come when the mind is busy, they come when the mind is still.” – David Scott
“It is so exhausting, trying to be perfect in an imperfect world. Striving for excellence motivates you, striving for perfection demoralizes you. The more perfect someone tries to appear, mean the more they are trying to hide. Think of yoga not as self-improvement, but in self-acceptance.” – David Scott
“We must not allow other people’s perceptions to define us.” Virginia Satir
“I stopped explaining myself when I realized other people only understand from their level of perception.”
“May you be firm, but never inflexible; may be you proud, but never boastful; may you be strong, but never forceful; may you be gentle but never weak; may you be truthful, but never unkind; may you be brave but never foolish; may you have more than enough, but never be greedy. – David Scott
