From the minute the alarm goes off in the morning, to the final "good night" wish before sleeping, many people are immersed in sound all day long. Because of this they look forward to the silence they find in the yoga room before and after class. This is the only meditation time many, many people get all day, and it's only in this silence that they are able to connect with their inner voice, their spirit. So please, please do not talk in the yoga room. Be mindful of your fellow yogis. We have tons of space throughout both schools where you can socialize - in the hallways, the lobbies, and on the benches outside on the sidewalks. That's why we created these areas.... So you can chat and hang and have all kinds of fun. That's hugely important! And just as important? The peaceful, uplifitng silence in the yoga room before and after class. So please, please do not talk in the yoga room. Be mindful of your fellow yogis.

I have a friend who travels the world giving BY seminars and he once shared a really powerful observation with me. He said that wherever he goes there is one thing that allows him to easily tell which students have been practicing the longest, which students have the deepest practice. It has nothing to do with how perfectly they execute the postures because many people have bodies or injuries that prevent them from moving into the full expression of the poses.
The one thing he finds the world over is that long time students with a deep practice have an uncommon stillness in the room, and an economy of movement when they practice. This is so true. It's a beautiful experience to be in this energy.... the depth of that kind of stillness is contageous and it empowers the entire class.
