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

During inhalation, the breath should move exactly like clouds spreading in the sky.

First yoga deals with health, strength and conquest of the body. Next, it lifts the veil of difference between the body and the mind. Lastly, it leads the Sadhaka to peace and unalloyed purity.

The Yogi conquers the body by the practice of asanas, making the body a fit vehicle for the spirit. The Yogi knows that it is a necessary vehicle for the spirit, for a soul without a body is like a bird deprived of its power to fly.

As breath stills our mind, our energies are free to unhook from the senses and bend inward.

Anything physical is always changing, therefore, its reality is not constant, not eternal.

I always tell people, live happily and die majestically.

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.

Better balance, less pain and less restless leg syndrome.

Ifyou have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.

Those persons are happiest in this restless and mutable world who are in love with change, who delight in what is new simply because it differs from what is old; who rejoice in every innovation, and find a strange alert pleasure in all that is, and that has never been before.

Each day, you must rise with a restless enthusiasm. If you don’t, you are working.

Joy is like restless day; but peace divine like quiet night.

Any suspicion of utility would have restricted his restless curiosity. In the end, utility resulted, but it was never a criterion to which his ceaseless experimentation could be subjected.

To a mind like mine, restless, and observant of everything that was passing, it is easy to suppose that religion was the subject to which it would be directed; although this subject principally occupied my thoughts, there was nothing that I saw or heard of to which my attention was not directed.

Never mind your restless heart.
