The yogi learns to forget the past and takes no thought for the morrow. He lives in the eternal present.

It is not yoga that injures, but the way one does yoga that leads to injury.

Do not allow past experiences to be imprinted on your mind. Perform asana each time with a fresh mind and with a fresh approach.

We often fool ourselves that we are concentrating because we fix our attention on wavering objects.

The primary aim of yoga is to restore the mind to simplicity, peace, and poise, to free it from confusion and distress.

Our greed comes from our fear that we will not have enough - whether it is money or love that we grasp. Yoga teaches us to let go of these fears and so to realize the abundance around us and within us.

You must fill every inch of your body with the asana from your chest and arms and legs to the tips of your fingers and toes so that the asana radiates from the core of your body and fills the entire diameter and circumference of your limbs. You must feel your intelligence, your awareness, and your consciousness in every inch of your body.
