Personal observation – people are not living in line with their values. Do these situations sound familiar:

1. Work/life balance – People say that they want to have a better work life balance, but what do they do? Instead of spending quality time with their family, they are checking emails. Instead of having a date night, they sit in front of the tv.

2. Health – We are the only developed nation that is going backwards with our health. How many people say that they want to lose weight, they want to get in shape or even just get off all the medications? MILLIONS. But what do they do? Make excuses.

3. Wealth – Ummm, all I have to say is look at the economy. People want to become wealthy, but they are not going about it the right way. Greed never brings abundance.

Why am I talking about these values and what do they have to do with yoga?

Yogipreneurs – as the Blues Brothers said, you are on a mission from God. Yoga offers an outlet for people to live a great life (as opposed to mediocre – see other notes). An inspiring yoga teacher helps their students realize what is important and commit to their own transformation. And it is only their transformation, their own journey to enlightenment, that will allow them to find stillness and peace in their life, on and off the mat.
