नमस्ते

Recently, I started trying out a new yoga studio by my apartment. I love and miss my old studio, but it is nice to see how other yoga instructors teach. Plus it was a really good Groupon deal!

Last week, the owner of the studio said this quote that I enjoyed on perspective and attitude. I can't remember it word for word, but it is apparently from this zen book that she was reading. Basically, she said:
“Water drunk by the snake becomes venom, water drunk by the cow becomes milk.” 
Water is just water that you need for life, but depending on the animal, it can turn into  something that could you give you life/nutrients or something that can kill you.  Something about that zen saying spoke to me.

Now, if only this new place had a stronger sense of community and aromatherapy, like my old place... Happy to be back at yoga :)
