There is no difference in our souls...That is what yoga teaches. When you and I meet together, we forget ourselves -- our cultures and classes. There are no divisions, and we talk mind to mind, soul to soul. We are no different in our deepest needs. We are all humans.

In backbends, one touches the body physically, mentally, intellectually, consciously and spiritually everywhere.

Where does the body end and the mind begin? Where does the mind end and the spirit begin? They cannot be divided as they are inter-related and but different aspects of the same all-pervading divine consciousness.

The light that Yoga sheds on life is something special. It is transformative. It does not just change the way we see things; it transforms the person who sees.

An intellectual mind that is unconnected to the heart is an uncultivated mind.

Your body is the child of the soul. you must nourish and train that child.
