My Maman told me that only the crazy ones and the passionate ones accomplish anything in life.

The yogi learns to forget the past and takes no thought for the morrow. He lives in the eternal present.

There is no difference in souls, only the ideas about ourselves that we wear.

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

Yoga, an ancient but perfect science, deals with the evolution of humanity. This evolution includes all aspects of one's being, from bodily health to self realization. Yoga means union - the union of body with consciousness and consciousness with the soul. Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day to day life and endows skill in the performance of one's actions.

Death is unimportant to a yogi; he does not mind when he is going to die. What happens after death is immaterial to him. He is only concerned with life-with how he can use his life for the betterment of humanity. Having undergone various types of pain in his life and having acquired a certain mastery over pain, he develops compassion to help society and maintains himself in purity and holiness. The yogi has no interest beyond that.

Relaxation: In. Every. Pose. There. Should. Be. Repose.
