Men have to descend from their pedestal and learn how to be more broadminded and spiritual.

We women must listen to our inner voice. It is easier for women to do this as they are not afraid to say what they feel.

Yoga is the art and science of living.

Tranquillizers do not change our environment, nor do they change our personalities. They merely reduce our responsiveness to stimuli. They dull the keen edge of the angers, fears, or anxiety with which we might otherwise react to the problems of living. Once the response has been dulled, the irritating surface noise of living muted or eliminated, the spark and brilliance are also gone.

Tell your husbands any bad news when everything is calm, not just as they come through the door.

Men have to descend from their pedestal and learn how to be more broadminded and spiritual.

Sri Krishnamacharya used to tell me: 'Do the Headstand when you are tired and in need of a tonic; when you are unable to fall asleep; when you are hungry, nervous and unhappy. Do it when in need of relaxation, when the brain is clouded, when you are in low spirits. Do it when your thoughts are distracted and you cannot concentrate properly or meditate.'
