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

If the foundation is firm the building can withstand calamities. The practice of yoga is the foundation so that the self is not shaken under any circumstances.

I am standing on my own altar; The poses are my prayers.

Your body exists in the past and your mind exists in the future. In yoga, they come together in the present.

Yoga is effort. Only practice is important. The rest of knowledge is only theory.

Life itself seeks fulfillment as plants seek sunlight.
