Hatha Yoga teaches us to use the body as the bow, asana as the arrow, and the soul the target.

Yoga has a threefold impact on health. It keeps healthy people healthy, it inhibits the development of diseases, and it aids recovery from ill health.

As we explore the soul, it is important to remember that this exploration will take place within nature (the body), for that is where and what we are.

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

Be inspired but not proud.

A lamp does not flicker in a place where no wind blows; so it is with a yogi, who controls his mind, intellect and self, being absorbed in the spirit within him.

The practice of asanas purges the body of its impurities, bringing strength, firmness, calm, and clarity of mind.
