When I first began learning yoga, I found it really hard because I couldn't clear my mind for the meditative part of it, but then after a few weeks it became easier and I could see how it began to change my body. I became more flexible and more relaxed and at peace with my environment. I love yoga and I encourage all my friends to practise it.

The meditative, calm sound is a reflection of my personality. I've got a silly and a crazy side, but it makes sense the music would come across that way. I do yoga every day and try to keep a sense of peace and calm in my life. I don't have a lot of frantic energy.

 And this is how I saw the herd on that migration. And again I just remember it was a-- the migration itself is very meditative. You're just kind of going and going and you don't see very much, you just see the herd. And I saw this and I realized, 'Wow, my only focal point are reindeer'.
