Yoga is a mirror to look at ourselves from within.

Before peace between the nations, we have to find peace inside that small nation which is our own being.

Hatha Yoga teaches us to use the body as the bow, asana as the arrow, and the soul the target.

Regular practise of yoga can help you face the turmoil of life with steadiness and stability.

When you are practicing, do not just do that for the sake of doing. Learn to reflect while you are practising. Make your mind and brain observe and relearn what you are doing. Doing is mechanical; learning is dynamic.

Yoga uses the body to discipline the mind and to reach the soul.

Awareness must be like the rays of the sun: extending everywhere, illuminating all.

The yogi cannot be afraid to die, because he has brought life to every cell of his body. We are afraid to die, because we are afraid we have not lived. The yogi has lived.

Breath is the king of mind.

Yoga is like music: the rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life.

Change is not something that we should fear. Rather, it is something that we should welcome. For without change, nothing in this world would ever grow or blossom, and no one in this world would ever move forward to become the person they're meant to be.

Balance in the body is the foundation for balance in life.

Yoga is a light, which once lit, will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter the flame.

The primary aim of yoga is to restore the mind to simplicity, peace, and poise, to free it from confusion and distress.

The body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in.

A stable mind is like the hub of a wheel. The world may spin around you, but the mind is steady.

The study of asana is not about mastering posture. It's about using posture to understand and transform yourself.

Look after the root of the tree, and the fragrant flower and luscious fruits will grow by themselves. Look after the health of the body, and the fragrance of the mind and richness of the spirit will follow.

Do not think of yourself as a small, compressed, suffering thing. Think of yourself as graceful and expanding, no matter how unlikely it may seem at the time.
