“Discipline imposed by you, yourself, upon yourself… your goal is freedom, but freedom may only be achieved through discipline… in class, you learn to conform; to submit yourself to the demands of your craft so you may finally be free…”

When I am totally free, I don’t feel my body, but I am in my body.  Every movement leads to another and it’s a continuous expression.  Pure bliss!
