“Bikram Yoga will give you ‘The Key to the Kingdom of Health’”

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.

If you don’t suffer, you don’t get anything. Nothing easy in life.

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.

Lady Gaga listens to me. Her mantra is only one word – ‘Bikram’ – because Bikram makes her what she is today. It works.

The body is like a bud, until the sun rises it will not bloom, until it blooms it will not be beautiful or give perfume. So respect it, take care of it.

Yoga is the perfect vehicle for change of yourself. First by creating a strong and powerful body and mind. It is a starting point from which you can begin to realize your human spirit.

In life you only have to travel 6 inches. That is the distance from your mind to your heart.

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.

The real pleasure,the real peace, the real enlightenment is to give. The more you give the more you get. If you give 10, you get 100.

Cheer up, things will get worse.

I think that’s the key to being a director: to be able to get the shot and move on quickly.

A key factor is to do training that is fun.

One day I locked my keys in my car and as I was standing there with a hanger halfway through the top of my window, a guy walks up and says, Lock yer keys in the car? Without missin’ a beat I said, Nope, Just washed it and was hanging it up to dry. Here’s your sign.

The key to writing successful YA is to keep the adults out of the story as much as possible.

The key to life is to set goals and go after those goals, don’t hold anything back.

The first line is the DNA of the poem; the rest of the poem is constructed out of that first line. A lot of it has to do with tone because tone is the key signature for the poem. The basis of trust for a reader used to be meter and end-rhyme.

Trust is simply a set of expectations about the present and the future. The key is to ensure that these are chosen and evaluated based upon awareness versus fear.

Having your goal to focus on is key, but don’t let it become more important than your excellence next year and the year after.
