The primary aim of yoga is to restore the mind to simplicity, peace, and poise, to free it from confusion and distress.

If you practice yoga every day with perseverance, you will be able to face the turmoil of life with steadiness and maturity.

After a session of yoga, the mind becomes tranquil and passive.

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

Yoga takes us to an unconditioned freedom, because yoga sees even good habits as a form of conditioning or limitation.

In backbends, one touches the body physically, mentally, intellectually, consciously and spiritually everywhere.

It is not yoga that injures, but the way one does yoga that leads to injury.
