All games are meaningless if you do not know the rules.

Yoga is a means and an end.

We can rise above our limitations, only once we recognize them.

Backbends are to be felt more than expressed. The other postures can be expressed and then felt. Like in meditation each person has to feel backbends.

By persistent and sustained practice, anyone and everyone can make the yoga journey and reach the goal of illumination and freedom.

As long as you do not feel the serenity in the body, in each and every joint, there is no chance for emancipation. You are in bondage. So while you are sweating and aching, let your heart be light and let it fill your body with gladness. You are not only becoming free, but you are also being free. What is not to be glad about? The pain is temporary. The freedom is permanent.

During inhalation, the breath should move exactly like clouds spreading in the sky.
