“In yoga practice, over time you use fewer muscles more efficiently. Expansion does require energy, but it should not require a great deal of effort.”

As yogis, we are constantly exploring the world of duality, while being acutely aware of the unity of all things.

I saw that all aspects of my life had been pulling me out of balance because I hadn’t perceived them as part of a “whole,” or the totality that was “me.”

Most of us are facing big changes in our lives. But, in our more evolved moments, I think we can all agree that fear-based worries are a waste of time and only create the experiences we are trying to avoid.

Balance for me now means seeing myself as a tree, being strong enough in my roots and trunk to not be a pushover, but being flexible enough in every circumstance not to break. I am continuing to expand, but not any faster than my roots can support me.

My wife’s trying to get me into yoga, and it’s gonna take me a while, but eventually I’m gonna have to.

I’m pretty positive, optimistic, so I always expect the best.

Yoga is when you feel pure consciousness and spirit.

Yoga adds years to your life and life to your years.

Practicing yoga is like tuning up your car.

You are not your thoughts, and you are not the product of your thoughts.

Great compassion penetrates into the marrow of the bone. It is the support of all living beings.

All that is necessary to awaken to yourself as the radiant emptiness of spirit is to stop seeking something more or better or different, and to turn your attention inward to the awake silence that you are.
