The needs of the body are the needs of the divine self, which lives through the body.

Mind is the king of the senses; breath is the king of the mind; and the nerves are king of the breath.

It is through the body that everything comes to the mind. It is through and with your body that you have to reach realization of being a spark of divinity. How can we neglect the temple of the spirit?

Happy is the man who knows how to distinguish the real from the unreal, the eternal from the transient and the good from the pleasant by his discrimination and wisdom.

I don't stretch my body as if it is an object. I do yoga from the self towards the body, not the other way around.

Love begets courage, moderation creates abundance and humility generates power. Courage without love is brutish. Abundance without moderation leads to over-indulgence and decay. Power without humility breeds arrogance and tyranny.

Yoga allows you to find a new kind of freedom that you may not have known even existed.
