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

This practice of yoga is to remove the weeds from the body so that the garden can grow.

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

The aim of yoga is to calm the chaos of conflicting impulses.

When you cannot hold the body still, you cannot hold the brain still. If you do not know the silence of the body, you cannot understand the silence of the mind. Action and silence have to go together. If there is action, there must also be silence. If there is silence, there can be conscious action and not just motion.

When stability becomes a habit, maturity and clarity follow.

Focus on keeping your spine straight. It is the job of the spine to keep the brain alert.
