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

As we explore the soul, it is important to remember that this exploration will take place within nature (the body), for that is where and what we are.

Practice doing yoga with an innocent mind. Then, you will be able to cognize the things happening in your body

I can remain thoughtfully thoughtless, It is not an empty mind.

The study of asana is not about mastering posture. It’s about using posture to understand and transform yourself.

As animals, we walk the earth. As bearers of divine essence, we are among the stars. As human beings, we are caught in the middle, seeking to reconcile the paradox of how to make our way upon earth while striving for something more permanent and more profound.

Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life, where you do not feel like you are constantly trying to fit broken pieces together.

We have two physical eyes, but every pore of the body is also an eye.

As leaves move in the wind, your mind moves with your breath.

One’s spiritual realization lies in none other than how one walks among and interacts with one’s fellow beings.

The back is like a frame, the front body, the painting that it throws into relief.

Relaxation: In. Every. Pose. There. Should. Be. Repose.

Mind is the king of the senses; breath is the king of the mind; and the nerves are king of the breath.

An intellectual mind that is unconnected to the heart is an uncultivated mind.

Without the accurate spine movement, one can’t exist dynamically.

The body is my temple, asanas are my prayers.

Willpower is nothing but willingness to do.

I set some goals for myself. I really want to run through this whole heavyweight division.

If you’re bored with life – you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things – you don’t have enough goals.

On this team, we’re all united in a common goal: to keep my job.

When you invest your time, you make a goal and a decision of something that you want to accomplish.

I lived the true American dream, because I was able to pursue what I set as my goals at a very young age.

Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.

Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal.

My goal is just to make as much money as I can in the sport, and that’s it.
