Yoga is the rule book for playing the game of Life, but in this game no one needs to lose. It is tough, and you need to train hard. It requires the willingness to think for yourself, to observe and correct, and to surmount occasional setbacks. It demands honesty, sustained application, and above all love in your heart.

Healthy plants and trees yield abundant flowers and fruits. Similarly, from a healthy person, smiles and happiness shine forth like the rays of the sun.

Your body exists in the past and your mind exists in the future. In yoga, they come together in the present.

Any action done with beauty and purity, and in complete harmony of body, mind and soul, is Art.

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

Breath is the vehicle of consciousness and so, by its slow measured observation and distribution, we learn to tug our attention away from external desires toward a judicious, intelligent awareness.

Know your capacities and continually improve upon them.
