Yoga has to be done with the intellect of the head as well as the intellect of the heart

Your body exists in the past and your mind exists in the future. In yoga, they come together in the present.

To do is hard, but to teach is still harder. Do not teach only to teach. Teach to improve the pupil. To be a teacher requires tremendous, vigorous discipline on oneself. We are teachers because somebody demands it from us. But the teacher should first rub his own self, and teach afterwards

Words cannot convey the value of yoga - it has to be experienced.

Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured.

Whenever asana is done mechanically from the front brain, the action is felt only on the peripheral body, and there is no inner sensation, there is no luminous inner light. If the asana is done with continual reference to the back of the brain, there is a reaction to each action, and there is sensitivity. Then life is not only dynamic, but it is also electrified with life force.

Asana done from the brain makes one heavy and done from the heart makes one light.
