Yoga With Delana Thompson

Yoga for a Peaceful World
When the challenges of the asana practice - whether they are mental, physical, or emotional - are met with a calm, compassionate mind, we are practicing peace. I hope yoga will give you the courage, open-mindedness, balance, and experience for living peacefully upon this planet. Om Shanti.

Website Goodies
I've recently added a number of new goodies to this website, which I hope you'll enjoy:
View a new asana photo gallery on the about page.
Find yoga recommendations (teachers, studios, retreat centers, etc) on the newly updated links page.
Read testimonials on the new "about" page (formerly the "bio" page).
Be inspired by the Quote Archive.
And read a summary of the first two chapters of the Yoga Sutras.

"In spiritual life there is no room for compromise. Awakening is not negotiable; we cannot bargain to hold on to things that please us while relinquishing things that do not matter to us. A lukewarm yearning for awakening is not enough to sustain us through the difficulties involved in letting go. It is important to understand that anything that can be lost was never truly ours, anything that we deeply cling to only imprisons us."
- Jack Kornfield
