Knowing that you can’t really deal and understand other people until you first understand yourself, every program was based on learning how to cope and understand your own feelings first, in order to understand and relate to other people. This philosophy they carried into everything, from meditation and body-awareness exercises, all kinds of dance, even belly-dancing, music, band, drill team, arts, crafts, advanced physics, mathematics, psychology, the classics, even into athletics, which they called yoga athletics—from yoga tennis to yoga football and every sport in between. The idea always being that the thrill of participating and the self-discipline one develops while training, preparing, and learning made one a winner for the rest of his life, no matter how well he played, or how the temporary contest came out. And so winning and losing and worrying about someone grading your efforts was not all that important anymore. Growing and having the fun and privilege of doing it, that was everything.
