Health begins with firmness in the body, deepens to emotional stability, then leads to intellectual clarity, wisdom and finally the unveiling of the soul.

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

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.

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 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.

Live a life worth living.

Practice good personal hygiene. Wash your hands before you eat. Be aware of good clean water and food sources.

You can't be truly rude until you understand good manners.

Okay, maybe I don't go around loving everybody I meet, maybe my smiles are hard to come by, but I do care for some people.
