A quote I like: "Crying is one of the highest devotional songs.  One who knows crying, knows spiritual practice.  If you can cry with a pure heart, nothing compares to such a prayer.  Crying includes all the principles of Yoga." -Kripalvananda

This inspires me: I feel inspired when I look out from my teaching mat and see everyone self-expressing each Yoga asana.  It is truly beautiful to see each body represent the asana in it's own way.  We are each here to self-express in a way that no one else ever has.  And to witness that in the moment moves me to tears.
