Perseverance in healing means that we keep working -- regardless of schedule conflicts, aches and pains, and life's ups and downs. The steadfast practice of yoga is integral to what I do, even if it's only to maintain a certain level without pushing boundaries. It's important to realize that there's always more to be done, and we can be like water: Smoothing out the rocky bits, over time. None of this is crash-and-burn discipline. It's long-term, and that's how I work too.
