By using the practice of mindfulness, we have the capacity to become the witness to our thoughts instead of the prisoner. Tending to our inner world gifts us the opportunity to navigate our outer world breath by breath, day by day with grace and wisdom, whether on a yoga mat or while walking through the world.
