It is through your body that you realize you are a spark of divinity.

The Yogi conquers the body by the practice of asanas, making the body a fit vehicle for the spirit. The Yogi knows that it is a necessary vehicle for the spirit, for a soul without a body is like a bird deprived of its power to fly.

I am standing on my own altar; The poses are my prayers.

Asanas penetrate deep into each layer of the body and ultimately into the consciousness itself.

As we shave it happens that we cut ourself with the razor blade; this does not mean that we must not shave in the morning any longer. It is the same thing for yoga.

Do not aim low, you will miss the mark. Aim high and you will be on a threshold of bliss.

When your body, mind and soul are healthy and harmonious, you will bring health and harmony to the world- not by withdrawing from the world, but by being a healthy, living organ of the body of humanity.
