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

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.

As leaves move in the wind, your mind moves with your breath.

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

The primary aim of yoga is to restore the mind to simplicity, peace, and poise, to free it from confusion and distress.

Spirituality is not some external goal that one must seek, but a part of the divine core of each of us, which we must reveal.

That's the beauty of backbends. Emotionally we can never be disturbed, for the emotional centre becomes an extrovert. When you do Viparita Dandasana, your head looks backwards, but your conscious mind stretches everywhere. Study by observing how the mind gets regulated. You not only know the freedom in the spine, but also the freedom in the spirit.
