Asanas penetrate deep into each layer of the body and ultimately into the consciousness itself.

Backbends are not poses meant for expressionism. Backbends are meant to understand the back parts of our bodies. The front body can be seen with the eyes, but the back body can only be felt. That's why I say these are the most advanced postures, where the mind begins to look at the back.

In your discipline, if doubt comes, let it come. You do your work and let doubt carry on with its work. And let us see which gives up first!

By persistent and sustained practice, anyone and everyone can make the yoga journey and reach the goal of illumination and freedom.

The body is my temple, asanas are my prayers.

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

Hatha Yoga teaches us to use the body as the bow, asana as the arrow, and the soul the target.
