You must do the asana with your soul. How can you do an asana with your soul? We can only do it with the organ of the body that is closest to the soul - the heart.

Many people try to think their way into an asana, but you must instead feel your way into it through love and devotion

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

Mind is the king of the senses; breath is the king of the mind; and the nerves are king of the breath.
