As we shave it happens that we cut ourself with the razor blade; this does not mean that we must not shave in the morning any longer. It is the same thing for yoga.

Yoga aims for complete awareness in everything you do.

The flexibility we gain in asana is the living symbol of the suppleness we gain in relation to life’s problems and challenges.

Yoga is the method by which the restless mind is calmed And the energy directed into constructive channels.

As the trunk is one but the branches are many, yoga is one but adaptations may vary.

When you are practicing, do not just do that for the sake of doing. Learn to reflect while you are practising. Make your mind and brain observe and relearn what you are doing. Doing is mechanical; learning is dynamic.

The cure to combat the three Ss- stress, strain, and speed- can be found in three Ws- the work of devoted practice, the wisdom that comes of understanding the self and the world, and worship because ultimately surrendering to what we cannot control allows the ego to relax and lose the anxiety of its own infinitesimally small self in the infinitude of the divine.
