“By persistent and sustained practice, anyone and everyone can make the yoga journey and reach the goal of illumination and freedom.”

Yoga is a way of life; it is an art, a science, a philosophy.

Asana is perfect firmness of body, steadiness of intelligence, and benevolence of spirit.

Firmness in the body leads to firmness in the nervous system.

The primary aim of yoga is to restore the mind to simplicity, peace, and poise, to free it from confusion and distress.

We are a little piece of continual change, looking at an infinite quantity of continual change.

When you inhale, you are taking the strength from God. When you exhale, it represents the service you are giving to the world.

Regular practise of yoga can help you face the turmoil of life with steadiness and stability

If you balance in the Present, you are living in Eternity

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.

You do not need to seek freedom in some distant land, for it exists within your own body, heart, mind, and soul.

Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured.

Yoga allows you to find an inner peace that is not ruffled and riled by the endless stresses and struggles of life.

If you have the right mind, your body can do anything.

Happy is the man who knows how to distinguish the real from the unreal, the eternal from the transient and the good from the pleasant by his discrimination and wisdom.

Spirituality is not some external goal that one must seek, but a part of the divine core of each of us, which we must reveal.

Learning is as much an art as teaching

It has shown me that everything is illuminated in the light of the past. It is always along the side of us…on the inside, looking out.

Exist so loud that even if you die tonight, your deeds illuminate like stars.

I notice increasing reluctance on the part of marketing executives to use judgment; they are coming to rely too much on research, and they use it as a drunkard uses a lamp post for support, rather than for illumination.

When the moonlight is kind enough to illuminate your darkness. How can you ever say you are lonely?

It doesn’t matter if a cave has been in darkness for 10,000 years or half an hour, once you light a match it is illuminated.

Be a bringer of the Light. For your light can do more than illuminate your own path, you can be the light which truly lights the world.

The touch of your pale skin illuminates my darkness.

My dad is Caucasian, and my mom is African American. I’m half black and half white. Being biracial paints a blurred line that is equal parts staggering and illuminating.
