The studio is a place to quiet the mind. It never becomes completely silenced, but the volume is turned way down. Morning routines tend to be the best at awakening the mind, especially for a long and fast-paced workday.
So why do we have to practice the mind? The mind needs exercise just like the body. It needs to "exercise" the negativity out of the body. What we find in meditation is a wandering thought process taking us into "what if" situations. The more I breathe out the "what ifs" of the past and future, the more room I have for the "what is" of the present.
In practice, the world seems to stop while I understand how it goes. Time stands still while I gain the understanding on how to maintain life in steady motion.
