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

Activity and passivity must go together in asanas.

Asana is perfect firmness of body, steadiness of intelligence, and benevolence of spirit.

Not all practitioners can jump to that highest level. They have to climb, step by step from the physical sphere to reach the spiritual sphere. If it is treated as exercise it is not the fault of yoga but of the practitioners.

Illuminated emancipation, freedom, unalloyed and untainted bliss await you, but you have to choose to embark on the Inward Journey to discover it

The yogi cannot be afraid to die, because he has brought life to every cell of his body. We are afraid to die, because we are afraid we have not lived. The yogi has lived.

My Maman told me that only the crazy ones and the passionate ones accomplish anything in life.
