Yoga, after all, is not an escape from life, but a way of taking yourself into life's pulsing heart. It will inevitably lead you to your own vulnerability, to your raw places. But vulnerability also opens the door to love, grace, and the deepest forms of healing. Your vulnerability, scary as it can be, is inseparable from your capacity for intimacy and creativity and love.

Never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby.
