Words to live by (jane channeling Martha Graham)
After going to the Warhol exhibit, I came back to the apartment to surf Martha Graham (American Choreographer and Dancer, 1894 - 1991) and found this amazing quote:
There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.
This quote sums it all up. This is why I practice yoga. This is why I practice Gyrotonic®. This is the quality I want to bring to my work with people - whether they are recovering from an injury or just keeping supple. It’s all about breaking down the barriers that block our joie de vivre.

Hi Jane,
I know that quote and have a copy of it i read often to remind me of the importance of creating and being each our own unique selves, thanks for spreading awareness of it.
