Many ask me whether pranayama ... postpones old age. Why worry about it? Death is certain. Let it come when it comes. Just keep working. The soul has no age. It doesn't die. Only the body decays. And yet, we must never forget the body, since it is the garden we must cherish and cultivate.

We often fool ourselves that we are concentrating because we fix our attention on wavering objects.

Freedom in a posture is when every joint is active.

The whole thrust of yogic philosophical and scientific inquiry has therefore been to examine the nature of being, with a view to learning to respond to the stresses of life without so many tremors and troubles.

Breath is the king of mind.

Yoga uses the body to discipline the mind and to reach the soul.

Yoga is a way of life; it is an art, a science, a philosophy.
