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.

When we are attentive to our actions we are not prisoners to our habits.

The practice of yoga only requires us to act and to be attentive in our actions.

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.

Anybody can breathe. Therefore anybody can practice yoga.

The ultimate goal of yoga is to always observe things accurately, and therefore never act in a way that will make us regret our actions later.

Yoga serves the individual, and does so through inviting transformation rather than by giving information.
