It is through the alignment of the body that I discovered the alignment of my mind, self, and intelligence.

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.

Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured.

My body is my temple and asanas are my prayers.

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

Yoga allows you to find a new kind of freedom that you may not have known even existed.

Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life, where you do not feel like you are constantly trying to fit broken pieces together.

There is no difference in souls, only the ideas about ourselves that we wear.

The hardness of a diamond is part of its usefulness, but its true value is in the light that shines through it.

Be inspired but not proud.

Do not aim low, you will miss the mark. Aim high and you will be on a threshold of bliss.

Yoga, an ancient but perfect science, deals with the evolution of humanity. This evolution includes all aspects of one’s being, from bodily health to self-realization. Yoga means union – the union of body with consciousness and consciousness with the soul. Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day-to-day life and endows skill in the performance of one’s actions.

There is only one reality, but there are many ways a reality can be interpreted.

There is no progress toward ultimate freedom without transformation, and this is the key issue in all lives.
