“In yoga practice, over time you use fewer muscles more efficiently. Expansion does require energy, but it should not require a great deal of effort.”

As yogis, we are constantly exploring the world of duality, while being acutely aware of the unity of all things.

I saw that all aspects of my life had been pulling me out of balance because I hadn’t perceived them as part of a “whole,” or the totality that was “me.”

Most of us are facing big changes in our lives. But, in our more evolved moments, I think we can all agree that fear-based worries are a waste of time and only create the experiences we are trying to avoid.

Balance for me now means seeing myself as a tree, being strong enough in my roots and trunk to not be a pushover, but being flexible enough in every circumstance not to break. I am continuing to expand, but not any faster than my roots can support me.

Let’s face it, I only practice yoga because the classes are always packed with beautiful women.

At any Maroon 5 concert, you’ll see a room backstage marked ‘yoga.’

Yoga takes what you have and molds and sculpts it, which is a much more natural way to look and feel.

There’s nothing to win in yoga. You just do what you can do, one day to the next.

Yoga carves you into a different person – and that is satisfying physically.

A lot of times people will think, ‘I’m strong, I’m in shape; why can’t I do this pose?’ But that’s not the point.

Playing a show before thousands of people is a highly unnatural state, and when I get on the mat to do an hour of yoga before the show, I come out physically relaxed.

There’s nothing to win in yoga. You just do what you can do, one day to the next.
