“If you practice yoga every day with perseverance, you will be able to face the turmoil of life with steadiness and maturity.”

I don’t stretch my body as if it is an object. I do yoga from the self towards the body, not the other way around.

The aim of yoga is to calm the chaos of conflicting impulses.

When stability becomes a habit, maturity and clarity follow.

Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life.

Love begets courage, moderation creates abundance and humility generates power

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.

Spiritual maturity is measured not by the sophistication of a person’s opinions, but by their genuineness and the courage necessary to express and maintain them.

Age’ is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years.

You become mature when you become the authority of your own life.

Money… is like a beautiful thoroughbred horse – very powerful & always in action, but unless this horse is trained when very young, it will be an out-of-control & dangerous animal when it grows to maturity.

Spiritual maturity is not knowing what to do with your whole life, but just knowing what to do next.

Being willing to delay pleasure for a greater result is a sign of maturity.

Brands mature over time, like a marriage. The bond you feel with your spouse is different than when you first met each other. Excitement and discovery are replaced by comfort and depth.

I am neither bitter nor cynical but I do wish there was less immaturity in political thinking.
