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.

People really respond to the songs when I play them in concert. Every song comes from a different place emotionally or from a different headspace.
