While individuals vary, the natural pace of human beings is slow
In an atmosphere of slowness, kindness and thoughtfulness flourish.                                 Yoga students ought to be kind and thoughtful to themselves in practice,
because they need to be authentic to receive the unique gifts of the their practice.         Kindness and thoughtfulness are our natural gifts. 

Hurrying and pressuring will only make one slightly insane.  It will impact your practice because it impacts your attitudes all the way down to your central nervous system.  

Being peaceful is the best way to practice slowness.  Being slow is the beginning and the end.  You cannot be violent in rushing or pushing your yoga and expect your practice to ultimately meet your standards.

Being slow is a teacher.  It will remind you of your standards while helping you to implement them.  

Being slow is a practice.

Being slow is a gift.
