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

Action is movement with intelligence. The world is filled with movement. What the world needs is more conscious movement, more action.

If you open the armpits, the brain becomes light. You cannot brood or become depressed.

The body is my temple, asanas are my prayers.

If we become aware of its limitations and compulsions, we can transcend them.

Yoga is the rule book for playing the game of Life, but in this game no one needs to lose. It is tough, and you need to train hard. It requires the willingness to think for yourself, to observe and correct, and to surmount occasional setbacks. It demands honesty, sustained application, and above all love in your heart.
