Starting out in yoga in 1971| Passing the bucket of water | Teaching comes through us, not from us | The necessity of our own practice | BKS Iyengar | Yoga was a spiritual practice in the 70s | Confusing the asana with the yoga | Yoga as action then reflection | Yoga is what you do when you leave the class | Everyone is already whole | Words really matter in yoga | Opening the practice up to all people | Practice should be required before teaching | Setting up Yoga Journal | Demystifying yoga | All bodies are yoga bodies
