As insight deepens, we develop greater equanimity and peace in the face of change, and wisdom and compassion increasingly become the guiding principl …

Every class we concentrate on the areas of the body that my students say need attention that day, right away.  If you have a sore neck or shoulders, tell me right before we start class and I will address that. Many of my students have sore hips and lower back muscles because they sit a lot during the da …
