This morning during poolside yoga, I found myself getting lazy and slouchy in a few poses. Without Amy or Rebecca or other teachers at Downtown Yoga Memphis to remind me to keep my chest raised and heart lifted, self-correction is up to me.

And so: I found this mantra as applicable to my posture when I folded over my legs as it is to life — all the ups and downs and every moment in between.

Your heart is still leading. Everything else rises with the heart.
