I always tell people, live happily and die majestically.

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.

Any action done with beauty and purity, and in complete harmony of body, mind and soul, is Art.

When an asana is done correctly the body movements are smooth, there is lightness in the body and freedom in the mind.

Yoga releases the creative potential in life.

You must purge yourself before finding faults in others.

For me there were only two ways on the precipice - either I have to fall in or I have to fall out, to accept or say good-bye. The moment I crossed the precipice, it no longer was a discipline - it became a passion, an urge to pursue. Then I experienced freedom. Freedom comes when the discipline revolutionizes the discipline as a passion for the art.
