In the west the ego is concerned with advanced postures. There are good reasons to practice advanced postures but ego security and advancement is not usually one of them. The ego will take care of itself if one simply practices yoga in a style and manner similar to the way one cleans the room. You simply attend to what is in front of you and eventually things get done.

Dr. Taylor's unique perspective as a Harvard neuroanatomist having a stroke, combined with her sensitivity and awareness, produced something as powerful as I've ever witnessed. I want to share Dr Taylor's story far and wide because it's a wonderful story and a great book to read, but more importantly, this is the message we desperately need if we are to survive as a species.
