In the movie Karate Kid, Dre wanted Mr. Han to teach him how to do martial arts in order to defend himself against bullies at school. But before Mr. Han showed him how to throw a proper punch he instructed Dre to repeatedly put on a jacket, take off the jacket, and hang it up. For days on end, Dre was directed to repeat this action. He grew anxiously impatient because he didn't understand why Mr. Han hadn't showed him how to kick or punch. Mr. Han replied Kung Fu lives in everything we do, Xiao Dre! It lives in how we put on the jacket, how we take off the jacket. It lives in how we treat people!


Like Kung Fu, yoga lives in everything we do. Before we practice asanas (yoga poses) we must first learn how to treat people!
