The back is like a frame, the front body, the painting that it throws into relief.

The material body has a practical reality that is accessible. It is here and now, and we can do something with it. However, we must not forget that the innermost part of our being is also trying to help us. It wants to come out to the surface and express itself.

Backbends are not poses meant for expressionism. Backbends are meant to understand the back parts of our bodies. The front body can be seen with the eyes, but the back body can only be felt. That's why I say these are the most advanced postures, where the mind begins to look at the back.

The back is like a frame, the front body, the painting that it throws into relief.

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

True concentration is an unbroken thread of awareness.

What I was is unimportant, what I am now is important.
