Submit to a daily practice

SCOUT — 2010-02-23T00:12:54-05:00

Definition of submit. 1. to give over or yield to the power or authority of another (often used reflexively). 2. to subject to some kind of treatment or influence. –verb (used without object) 3. to yield oneself to the power or authority of another: to submit to a conqueror. 4. to allow oneself to be subjected to some kind of treatment 5. to defer to another's judgment, opinion, decision, etc.: I submit to your superior judgment. "submit to a daily practice" my yoga motto. Back down... Back off stop making excuses and just do it. I think that we need to submit more often to more things. Submit "Do your practice, all Is coming "-Sri k Patthabi Jois Ashtanga Yoga- Charlottesville Http://www.ashtangacharlottesville.com It's so much easier to submit than make excuses. Come to yoga.
