“Until you destroy your body, you don’t learn to appreciate it. Treat the body like a temple because the body is so beautiful. If and when you understand your body then you will respect it.”

Nothing can steal happiness, peace, away from you: if anyone does make you angry, you are the loser; if someone can allow you to lose peace, you are the loser.

Yoga is the only exercise in the world you can do at any age. There is always some posture that will improve your health, mind and soul.

Women like me. Women love me, so if I really wanted to involve the women, I don’t have to assault the women.

No matter how old or sick or out of shape, you can still stretch and have a new beginning with yoga.

If you have a good spine, the gods will chase you. Nobody has psychological or emotional problems, everyone has a bad spine.

The right way is the hard way.

You are never too old or too broken. It is never too late to begin, or to start all over again.

Any kind of problem you have in your life, you come to Bikram. Your life becomes the best in the world.

Would you rather suffer 90 minutes or 90 years? (Regarding a Bikram Yoga session that takes exactly 90 minutes.)

I am tough, and sometimes I tell it like it is. Tough love can work wonders.

Hate gets going, it goes round, it gets older and tighter and older and tighter, until it holds a person inside it like a fist holds a stick.

Kiss me in a way i’ll never forget. Kiss me in a way that will stay with me until see you again

A farmer’s horse is never lame, never unfit to go. Never throws out curbs, never breaks down before or behind.

I’m not leaving until you tell me why you followed me. I know i’m a fascinating guy, but this is starting to feel like an unhealthy obsession.

It wasn’t until I was 37 that I grasped the great truth that you’ve got to write your own books and nobody else’s, and then everything followed from there.

I didn’t know I was really alive in this world until I felt things hard enough to kill for ’em.
