The success of Yoga does not lie in the ability to perform postures but in how it positively changes the way we live our life and our relationships.

If we do not pay attention to ourselves in our practice, then we cannot call it yoga.

Whether things get better or worse depends to a considerable extent on our own actions. The recommendation of a yoga practice follows the principle that through practice we can learn to stay present in every moment, and thereby achieve much that we were previously incapable of.

The way that we see things today does not have to be the way we saw them yesterday. This is because the situations, our relationships to them, ad we ourselves have changed in the interim.

The quality of our breath expresses our inner feelings.

There are two types of teachers. Those who tell you what you want to hear and those who tell you what you don't want to hear.

It is not only important how long your breath is. What is more important is how smooth and subtle it is. For length of breath without the accompanying subtlety is fruitless.
