In traditional descriptions, meditation is compared to training a horse.

Practice makes everything easier and more accessible and this doesn’t apply only to yoga asana. It applies also to your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. If you’re used to feeling a certain way, and you practice that feeling multiple times a day, it will be quite easy for you to feel that way because it’s so familiar. The good news is that it is in your power to practice feeling how you want to feel and have the mindset that you want to have so that those thoughts and feelings become a regular part of your everyday experience. In this class, you will practice the feeling of gratitude.
