Readings from Yoga Classes

Hello everyone!

I've had some inquiries recently about the quotes and readings I share in class.  My apologies for not being diligent in posting them on a more frequent basis.  This post should bring me up-to-date!  

Thanks for inquiring and reading and please share freely!  ~ Sheila

The grass is not, in fact, not always greener on the other side of the fence.

Fences have nothing to do with it.

The grass is greenest where it is watered.

When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be.

~ Robert Fulghum

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul; 

the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

~ Napolean Hill

I beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart

and to try to love the questions themselves

as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language.  

Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now 

because you would not be able to live them.

And the point is to live everything.

Live the questions now.

Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually,

without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his hands through your hair once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, 

have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed;

never throw out anyone.

~ Audrey Hepburn

Everything that has a beginning has an ending.

Make your peace with that and all will be well.

~ Buddha

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new.

But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful.

There is more security in the adventurous and exciting,

for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.

~ Alan Cohen

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle,

and the life of the candle will not be shortened.

Happiness never decreases by being shared.

~ Siddhartha Gautama

Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.
