Owlie, I sometimes work with teachers who offer some "take" on yoga instruction that just doesn't reasonate with me. I've learned, over time, to take what I need and leave the rest. So long as the actual yoga instruction is sound, i.e., they aren't telling me to do things that will hurt my body, I can generally tune out the rest.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
