"My spiritual belief system is simple," says Roy. "I try to see Spirit — Divinity — in everyone and everything, from looking into my cat's eyes to walking in an old growth forest. One of my favorite joys in teaching is seeing the look in the students' eyes at the end of class. This is what yoga is all about — integration of body, mind, emotions, and spirit.  Ultimately, we are all connected, and made up of the same sacred energy, and the sooner we remember this, the sooner we will create a more kind and compassionate world."
