During inhalation, the breath should move exactly like the clouds which are spreading in the sky.
Illuminated emancipation, freedom, unalloyed and untainted bliss await you, but you have to choose to embark on the Inward Journey to discover it.
Breath is the king of mind.
The light that Yoga sheds on life is something special. It is transformative. It does not just change the way we see things; it transforms the person who sees.
Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day-to-day life and endows skill in the performance of one’s actions.
Words cannot convey the value of yoga – it has to be experienced.
Any action done with beauty and purity, and in complete harmony of body, mind and soul, is Art.
Yoga aims for complete awareness in everything you do.
Yoga is an interior penetration leading to integration of being, senses, breath, mind, intelligence, consciousness, and Self. It is definitely an inward journey, evolution through involution, toward the Soul, which in turn desires to emerge and embrace you in its glory.
The body is the prop for the soul. So why not let the body be propped by a wall or a block?
Action is movement with intelligence.
Health begins with firmness in the body, deepens to emotional stability, then leads to intellectual clarity, wisdom and finally the unveiling of the soul.
If you can adapt to and balance in a world that is always moving and unstable, you learn how to become tolerant to the permanence of change and difference.
The highest point of yesterday should be the lowest point of today.
If you open the armpits, the brain becomes light. You cannot brood or become depressed.
Breath is the vehicle of consciousness and so, by its slow measured observation and distribution, we learn to tug our attention away from external desires toward a judicious, intelligent awareness.
It is not yoga that injures, but the way one does yoga that leads to injury.
You do not need to seek freedom in a different land, for it exists with your own body, heart, mind, and soul.
The art of teaching is tolerance. Humbleness is the art of learning.
A stable mind is like the hub of a wheel. The world may spin around you, but the mind is steady.
