Gratitude People Yoga
I’m a very typical yoga-practicing musician; I do it when I can. I’m not hardcore about it. A lot of my lyrics talk about celebrating life and working through pain. I think that’s what yoga’s about, getting rid of, moving energy and letting it flow through you.

When you get to say something in a song you’re not directing it necessarily at one person. When it’s in a song it’s easier to get it out. I don’t really worry so much about it when I’m writing a song.
