“The body is my temple, asanas are my prayers.”

When you are practicing, do not just do that for the sake of doing. Learn to reflect while you are practising. Make your mind and brain observe and relearn what you are doing. Doing is mechanical; learning is dynamic.

It is through the body that everything comes to the mind. It is through and with your body that you have to reach realization of being a spark of divinity. How can we neglect the temple of the spirit?

If you open the armpits, the brain becomes light. You cannot brood or become depressed.

Savasana is being without was, being without will be. It is being without anyone who is.

Do not aim low, you will miss the mark. Aim high and you will be on a threshold of bliss.

Do not stop trying just because perfection eludes you.

Sirsasana the king of all asanas and the reasons are not hard to find.

I don’t bring yesterday’s poses to today’s practice. I know yesterday’s poses, but when I practice today I become a beginner. I don’t want yesterday’s experience. I want to see what new understanding may come in addition to what I felt up to now.

The flexibility we gain in asana is the living symbol of the suppleness we gain in relation to life’s problems and challenges.

Yoga is more than physical. It is cellular, mental, intellectual and spiritual-it involves man in his entire being

Asanas penetrate deep into each layer of the body and ultimately into the consciousness itself.

When your body, mind and soul are healthy and harmonious, you will bring health and harmony to the world- not by withdrawing from the world, but by being a healthy, living organ of the body of humanity.

You must purge yourself before finding faults in others.

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.

Approach each asana with freshness every day.

When the asana is correct, there is lightness, a freedom. Freedom comes when every part of the body is active. Let us be free in whatever posture we are doing. Let us be full in whatever we do.

Asanas maintain the strength and health of the body, without which little progress can be made. Asanas keep the body in harmony with nature

The brain is the hardest part of the body to adjust in asanas.
