“Any action done with beauty and purity, and in complete harmony of body, mind and soul, is Art.”

All of us have a dormant spark of divinity in us which has to be fanned into flame by yoga.

Do not think of yourself as a small, compressed, suffering thing. Think of yourself as graceful and expanding, no matter how unlikely it may seem at the time.

The supreme adventure in a man’s life is his journey back to his Creator.

It is through your body that you realize you are a spark of divinity.

Nothing can be forced, receptivity is everything.

True concentration is an unbroken thread of awareness.

It is not yoga that injures, but the way one does yoga that leads to injury.

The ultimate goal of yoga is to realize the brilliance of your soul.

Yoga has to be done with the intellect of the head as well as the intellect of the heart

You have to create love and affection for your body, for what it can do for you. Love must be incarnated in the smallest pore of the skin, the smallest cell of the body to make them intelligent so they can collaborate with all the other ones, in the big republic of the body. This love must radiate from you to others.

During inhalation, the breath should move exactly like clouds spreading in the sky.

First yoga deals with health, strength and conquest of the body. Next, it lifts the veil of difference between the body and the mind. Lastly, it leads the Sadhaka to peace and unalloyed purity.

The Yogi conquers the body by the practice of asanas, making the body a fit vehicle for the spirit. The Yogi knows that it is a necessary vehicle for the spirit, for a soul without a body is like a bird deprived of its power to fly.

As breath stills our mind, our energies are free to unhook from the senses and bend inward.

Anything physical is always changing, therefore, its reality is not constant, not eternal.

I always tell people, live happily and die majestically.

The mind is responsible for the feelings of pleasure and pain. Control of the mind is the highest Yoga.

The perfection of yoga is to become detached. And the perfection of detachment is to become completely attached, attached to God.

Bhakti yoga isn’t something you join, it’s love. It means falling in love.

Fear less, hope more. Eat less, chew more. Talk less, say more. Hate less, love more.

I only know one yoga: ‘You Go.’

Not in the state of unconsciousness, but in full awareness when the higher Power will descend into and direct us, then only the yogic life will begin.

The yogin becomes aware in part of the action of the supramental power organizing the lower vehicle (ādhāra). A part of it remains behind the veil and prepares itself.

Yoga is an inner experience – a workIN within a workOUT.
