Do not think of yourself as a small, compressed, suffering thing. Think of yourself as graceful and expanding, no matter how unlikely it may seem at the time.

The body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in.

Yoga is a light, which once lit, will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter the flame.

Hatha Yoga teaches us to use the body as the bow, asana as the arrow, and the soul the target.

Life without tapas, is like a heart without love.

The study of asana is not about mastering posture. It's about using posture to understand and transform yourself.

In backbends, one touches the body physically, mentally, intellectually, consciously and spiritually everywhere.

In an asana, the mind has to reach inside the body to find a quiet space until a point comes where perfect balance is felt.

Knowledge has a beginning but no end.

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

Whenever we find stiffness in the body, our mind should be especially supple. It is never the stiffness in our bodies that limits our practice, it is always the stiffness of our mind.

you keep me going when i feel like a flat tyreyou do my head right, like a hair dryercan i call you my machanic since you change my mood and get me feeling like i have got a spare tyre.

And there's no one there to dry your tears. I could hold you for a million years. To make you feel my love.

I think if you would have cut Houdini with a knife, blood wouldn't come out, PR would.

Only secretly rebellious teachers have ever done right by our least advantaged kids.

The propaganda machine keeps on churning out lies and deceit. And the obedient, unthinking, apathetic people in our society keep accepting it.

The music is all. People should die for it. People are dying for everything else, so why not the music?

What peace can they have who are not at peace with God?

No rules according to the Universe. You provide the feelings of having it now; it will respond.

I love the Miami atmosphere.

A national culture, if it is to flourish, should be a constellation of cultures, the constitutes of which, benefiting each other, benefit the whole.
