...are in negative surroundings, you must make a concerted effort to change.

We must accept, what we cannot change, but we are in control of our present and the future. We have no control over natural disasters and the economy, but through yoga practice, we can learn to appreciate our surroundings.

Each choice, we make, has a cumulative effect on our health and the lives of those around us. If we are content with our family, friends, and co-workers, we contribute to their happiness.

When we take positive action, on a daily basis, through loving kindness, mindfulness, and optimism, we practice yoga and open the Gateway to Happiness.
