Achieving Inner Peace

You can have inner peace and calmness all the time. Exaggerated ups and downs, reactions to others, attachments and desires can throw you off-center. Moods of any kind; anger, anxiety, depression rob you of joy and tranquility. Yoga suggests we should be "even-minded and cheerful" at all times. Is this really possible? Can it be done and keep the ability to feel and experience life? The answer is yes, as many who have taken this course will confirm.
