Persistent practice alone is the key to yoga. As you take pains to learn, continue with devotion what you have learn.

The brain is the hardest part of the body to adjust in asanas.

Yoga is when every cell of the body sings the song of the soul.

The breath must be enticed or cajoled, like catching a horse in a field, not by chasing after it, but by standing still with an apple in one’s hand.

Asana done from the brain makes one heavy and done from the heart makes one light.

Asanas keep your body, as well as your mind, healthy and active

Think light! Try to impart a feeling of lightness to the body. Think light. This can be achieved by mentally extending yourself outwards from the centre of the body, i.e., think tall. Think not just of raising your arms but of extending them outwards and when you are holding them still, think again of reaching still further away from your body. Do not think of yourself as a small compressed suffering thing. Think of yourself as graceful and expanding - no matter how unlikely it may seem at the time.
