Yoga is meant for the purification of body and its exploration as well as for the refinement of the mind.

You must purge yourself before finding faults in others. When you see a mistake in somebody else, try to find if you are making the same mistake. This is the way to take judgment and to turn it into improvement.

Yoga aims for complete awareness in everything you do.

You have to create love and affection for your body, for what it can do for you. Love must be incarnated in the smallest pore of the skin, the smallest cell of the body to make them intelligent so they can collaborate with all the other ones, in the big republic of the body. This love must radiate from you to others.

The decision to relax rather than to grip, even in the face of impatience or fear, is a conscious and brave choice.

Give more than you receive. That is the principle I tell all my students.

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