Amyra Dastur
Indian Actress
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.

Quote examples
Gretchen Parlato
American Musician
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.

My love for pottery started completely by chance when a good friend of mine recommended I take a class. When I sat down at a pottery wheel, it was like love at first sight. It was so deeply meditative, and I felt connected right away.

There's something to be said about living in the present moment. In cooking, you're allowing your mind to just focus on the task at hand, and you're able to escape and put your mind at rest. That's why it becomes meditative.

John Battelle
American Businessman
