“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.”

My Maman told me that only the crazy ones and the passionate ones accomplish anything in life.

As long as the body is not in perfect health, you think about it, and that prevents you from thinking of the mind. The sound mind is a sound body.

Live before you die, so that death is also a lively celebration.

Hard work and humility are essential for spiritual sadhana.

Why think of liberation at some future time? Liberation is in the little things, here and now.

Health begins with firmness in the body, deepens to emotional stability, then leads to intellectual clarity, wisdom and finally the unveiling of the soul.

Ignorance has no beginning, but it has an end. There is a beginning but no end to knowledge.

Yoga is the method by which the restless mind is calmed And the energy directed into constructive channels.

Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day-to-day life and endows skill in the performance of one’s actions.

Be inspired but not proud.

Yoga is the music of the soul. So do continue, and the gates of the soul will open.

Yoga is the golden key that unlocks the door to peace, tranquility and joy.

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.

Yoga is like music: the rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life.

The art of teaching is tolerance. Humbleness is the art of learning.

To be dull is easy, to be active requires tremendous work.

My wife’s trying to get me into yoga, and it’s gonna take me a while, but eventually I’m gonna have to.

I’m pretty positive, optimistic, so I always expect the best.

Yoga is when you feel pure consciousness and spirit.

Yoga adds years to your life and life to your years.

Practicing yoga is like tuning up your car.

You are not your thoughts, and you are not the product of your thoughts.

Great compassion penetrates into the marrow of the bone. It is the support of all living beings.

All that is necessary to awaken to yourself as the radiant emptiness of spirit is to stop seeking something more or better or different, and to turn your attention inward to the awake silence that you are.
