"When we are inspired, we inspire others." - Cara Bradley

Verge Yoga's owner Cara Bradley held a class to benefit breast cancer awareness and research. The class was taught round robin style, rotating between 8 of Verge's most senior teachers. Once a beautiful full room of 41 yogis took final savasana, there was complete stillness. Only the sounds of breathing all around.
Cara began to speak of connections, the kind we can uncover within ourselves. Finding the Self means seeing the Self in all others and realizing oneness with creation.

What this means to me is that all things composed of matter deserve respect: our environments and the people in them. Everything from the toothpaste to the computer is to be treated with gratitude. So when we move through our worlds hastily, rushing to get ready in the morning, banging drawers shut and spilling cereal in the kitchen, we waste the condition of the world we live in. When we pause to appreciate the warmth of the water we wash our skin with, or actually look into the eyes of the person we are having a conversation with, we connect to what we're really here to do.
