You must purge yourself before finding faults in others.

The hardness of a diamond is part of its usefulness, but its true value is in the light that shines through it.

Yoga is like music: the rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life.

Balance in the body is the foundation for balance in life.

The decision to relax rather than to grip, even in the face of impatience or fear, is a conscious and brave choice.

When you cannot hold the body still, you cannot hold the brain still. If you do not know the silence of the body, you cannot understand the silence of the mind. Action and silence have to go together. If there is action, there must also be silence. If there is silence, there can be conscious action and not just motion.
