Asanas maintain the strength and health of the body, without which little progress can be made. Asanas keep the body in harmony with nature

Willpower is nothing but willingness to do.

Asanas keep your body, as well as your mind, healthy and active

All of us have a dormant spark of divinity in us which has to be fanned into flame by yoga.

I don’t bring yesterday’s poses to today’s practice. I know yesterday’s poses, but when I practice today I become a beginner. I don’t want yesterday’s experience. I want to see what new understanding may come in addition to what I felt up to now.

While doing the postures, your mind should be in half-consciousn ess, which does not mean sleep. It means silence, emptiness, space, which can then be filled with an acute awareness of the sensations given by the posture. You watch yourself from inside. It is a full silence.

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