Freedom in a posture is when every joint is active.

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

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.

Many ask me whether pranayama ... postpones old age. Why worry about it? Death is certain. Let it come when it comes. Just keep working. The soul has no age. It doesn't die. Only the body decays. And yet, we must never forget the body, since it is the garden we must cherish and cultivate.

Extension brings space, space brings freedom, freedom brings precision. Precision is truth.

Yoga is the music of the soul. So do continue, and the gates of the soul will open.

There must be relaxation in full extension.
