From Charles Matkin

I took a workshop with him in near-hurricane conditions out on Long Island a couple of weeks ago--and then today found this awesome quote by him from a Yoga Journal interview from probably 2008:

"...yoga and spirituality won't fix your emotional life...They're incredible tools. But you can meditate to numb your feelings, too, and that gets you nowhere. I think meditation works best when you use it to see more clearly what's going on inside, so you can act from a more balanced place."

He makes spiritual practice make sense! I'm such a fan now, much more than when I used to see him on the Yoga Zone videos (yes, I had them on VHS, my mom gave me several about 10 yeras ago) and TV show from the early 00's.
