Breath is the king of mind.

Yoga does not just change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees.

Be inspired but not proud.

The highest point of yesterday should be the lowest point of today.

Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life.

You must purge yourself before finding faults in others.

The hardness of a diamond is part of its usefulness, but its true value is in the light that shines through it.

Action is movement with intelligence. The world is filled with movement. What the world needs is more conscious movement, more action.

Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life, where you do not feel like you are constantly trying to fit broken pieces together.

Spirituality is not some external goal that one must seek, but a part of the divine core of each of us, which we must reveal.

Do not aim low, you will miss the mark. Aim high and you will be on a threshold of bliss.

We must create a marriage between the awareness of the body and that of the mind. When two parties do not cooperate, there is unhappiness on both sides.

You do not need to seek freedom in a different land, for it exists with your own body, heart, mind, and soul.

There is only one reality, but there are many ways that reality can be interpreted.

The union of nature and soul removes the veil of ignorance that covers our intelligence.

The physical body is not only a temple for our soul, but the means by which we embark on the inward journey toward the core.

True concentration is an unbroken thread of awareness.

We often fool ourselves that we are concentrating because we fix our attention on wavering objects.

Your body is the child of the soul. You must nourish and train that child.

You exist without the feeling of existence.

Yoga is the golden key that unlocks the door to peace, tranquility and joy.

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

The supreme adventure in a man’s life is his journey back to his Creator.

The art of teaching is tolerance. Humbleness is the art of learning.

Yoga allows you to find a new kind of freedom that you may not have known even existed.

There is no difference in souls, only the ideas about ourselves that we wear.

Penetration of our mind is our goal, but in the beginning to set things in motion, there is no substitute for sweat.

When you inhale, you are taking the strength from God. When you exhale, it represents the service you are giving to the world.
