Thanks to those that came out and did yoga in the morning at Bally yesterday and thanks to my regular night students for working so hard with me at TFC. It was an interesting day of finding balance as we worked hard, yet focused on DO NO HARM. As a gym mantra, I feel much more closely attached to "do no harm," than "no pain no gain!"
