“The highest point of yesterday should be the lowest point of today”

It is through the alignment of the body that I discovered the alignment of my mind, self, and intelligence.

Yoga allows you to find a new kind of freedom that you may not have known even existed.

Move from the known to the unknown.

Yoga is when every cell of the body sings the song of the soul.

Fear and fatigue block the mind. Face both, then courage and confidence flows into you.

While doing the postures, your mind should be in half-consciousn ess, which does not mean sleep. It means silence, emptiness, space, which can then be filled with an acute awareness of the sensations given by the posture. You watch yourself from inside. It is a full silence.

Yoga is firstly for individual growth, but through individual growth, society and community develop.

A yogi’s brain extends from the bottom of the foot to the top of his head

Balance in the body is the foundation for balance in life.

There is no progress toward ultimate freedom without transformation, and this is the key issue in all lives.

We can wash the skin of our bodies with a bath, but through asana practice we not only purify our blood and cells, we are cleansing the inner body as we practice.

Is it necessary to practice all these asanas, further and further? Is it necessary to develop scientific researches further and further? To a yogi, the body is a laboratory, a field of experiments and perpetual researches.

If you can adapt to and balance in a world that is always moving and unstable, you learn how to become tolerant to the permanence of change and difference.

Health is not a commodity to be bargained for. It has to be earned through sweat.

Don’t practice for cosmetic beauty, practice for cosmic beauty. Practice for inner beauty and inner light.

When you see a mistake in somebody else, try to find if you are making the same mistake.

You are who you are meant to be, Dance as if no one’s watching, Love as if it’s all you know, Dream as if you’ll live forever, Live as if you’ll die today

If you’ve got a today, don’t wear it tomorrow. Tomorrow never happens. It’s all the same day.

Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.

Many husbands today pitch in to help with household chores – it’s called partnership.

So yesterday you fell off the wagon? Or maybe you blew your diet? Or lost your temper and shot off your mouth? Well, that was yesterday. Today is a brand-new day with a clean slate, so forget yesterday!

It is hard for many people today to make the distinction between religion and religiosity, the latter a dangerous parody of the former.

In Biblical times, a man could have as many wives as he could afford. Just like today.

It seems like people my age are over-protected today, even to the point where a lot of parents refuse to put their kids in the position to make important decisions, to aspire to great things, because they don’t want to put them in a position to fail.
