Yoga has been the best tool for managing stress and life's challenges. Everything from my studies to my father's death was eased by my practice of it.

Yoga has brought me closer to myself. It's helped me realize the interconnectedness of the mind, body and spirit, in the Buddhist sense of the word.

As long as I was breathing with the contractions and not pushing against them, I felt better. That idea is fundamental-to feel pain and not to resist; to go towards it. It is an incredibly spiritual practice.

It is education that will arm us with the tools that will enable us to succeed and put a stop to the rising rates of preventable death.

My day-to-day life changes; I don't have any standard day.

Most of us harbour a significant amount of subconscious fear about death, and act out of this fear in our daily lives.
