Our greed comes from our fear that we will not have enough - whether it is money or love that we grasp. Yoga teaches us to let go of these fears and so to realize the abundance around us and within us.

The body is the prop for the soul. So why not let the body be propped by a wall or a block?

That's the beauty of backbends. Emotionally we can never be disturbed, for the emotional centre becomes an extrovert. When you do Viparita Dandasana, your head looks backwards, but your conscious mind stretches everywhere. Study by observing how the mind gets regulated. You not only know the freedom in the spine, but also the freedom in the spirit.

There must be relaxation in full extension.

Backbends are to be felt more than expressed. The other postures can be expressed and then felt. Like in meditation each person has to feel backbends.

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

Yoga is the method by which the restless mind is calmed And the energy directed into constructive channels.
