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

As each individual is electrically alive and dynamic, so yoga is a living, dynamic force in life. In order to savor its essence, one needs a religiously attentive dynamic practice done with awareness and absorption.

The breath must be enticed or cajoled, like catching a horse in a field, not by chasing after it, but by standing still with an apple in one’s hand.

My Maman told me that only the crazy ones and the passionate ones accomplish anything in life.

Do not allow past experiences to be imprinted on your mind. Perform asana each time with a fresh mind and with a fresh approach.

We often fool ourselves that we are concentrating because we fix our attention on wavering objects.

The yogi learns to forget the past and takes no thought for the morrow. He lives in the eternal present.
