“While practicing Asanas with deep breathing, we come across the internal resistance. This internal resistance reflects in many areas of our lives. With regular Asana practice with deep breathing, this internal resistance diminishes and we encounter our biggest strengths. This is how regular Asana practice with deep breathing changes our internal body and mind composition.

“The Yoga is in the in-between.
It’s between each breath, each posture, each experience. It’s in the growing, the learning, the doing, and, often, the waiting. We can grow more when we lean into the in-between and see the beauty in the process.”

“When we’re practicing asana, the movement and that awareness of what we experience in each shift, each new position, each breath, helps us connect with ourselves a little deeper. It helps us get to explore and know ourselves simply as an individual, being in this moment, moving breath to breath.”

“Yoga is often referred to as a moving meditation. In yoga, one goes deeply inward, connecting with the Divine while simultaneously moving the body in a beneficial and life-enhancing way. One does not force the pose or fall asleep. It is awake, reverent attention.”

“Man lives in the body as a prisoner; when his term is over, he suffers the indignity of being thrown out. Love of the body is therefore nothing more than love of jail. Long accustomed to living in the body, we have forgotten what real freedom means. Being a Westerner is no excuse for not seeking freedom. It is vital to every man that he discover his soul and know his immortal nature. Yoga shows the way.”

“Building of character is the only true practice of Yoga, and it is the only way we can really help humanity. Christ helped the world by His character. It is not that He turned this earth into a heaven. That is not possible. There was just as much evil in the world after He came as before, but by His example He is helping each individual soul to over- come its limitations and to strive toward perfection.
Neither Christ nor Buddha, or any other prophet, claimed to be exceptions. On the contrary, they preached that all can become like them. We can all become perfect characters. But only when we build our characters on the firm foundations of purity, unselfishness, and non-attachment will they be immovable, and become a blessing to all mankind.”

“Man is the expression
of God, and God is the reality of man.
Real man and God are inseparable.
"This Atman is not to be realized by the intellect, nor by words, nor by hearing from many sources; but by him by whom this Atman is beloved, by him alone is the Atman realized."
The thing necessary for us is to feel intense love in our hearts for this Atman, or God; otherwise He is not attainable. There is no other way that man can reach unto God, except through love — love always unites. This love for God comes unto those blessed beings who are pure in heart, from whom all attachment for unreal things, all selfish desires have vanished. This purity of heart and love for God are the sum and substance of all religious teachings”

“Life on the Mat

“I roll it out and step inside a world of self-discovery, mine.
Here is where I challenge myself, to learn just how to be myself…
to grow and reach and stretch and sweat,
I push my boundaries, no regrets.

For this is where I seem to be, a stronger, better newer me.
And when my body’s fully spent, my spirit takes a forward step,

I contemplate the wisdom’s known,
relinquished now, in Child’s pose.”

“I carefully lifted out of the pose and spoke up: "Uh, Fran? When I'm doing the pose (camel), I have this feeling in my chest, kind of a scary, tight feeling."

Fran was adjusting someone across the room. She had a way of looking like a thoughtful seamstress when she made adjustments: an inch let out here, a seam straightened there, and everything would be just right. She might as well have had pins tucked between her lips and a tape measure around her neck. Without missing a beat or looking up she said, "Oh, that's fear. Try the pose again."

Fear. I hadn't even known it was there.”

“Water is healing. It is one of the main elements of life. We are more than 70% water, so we respond to it readily. It doesn’t just clean our bodies. That’s the least of it. It cleans our etheric body. That’s why almost everyone feels better after a long shower.”

“When I learned about santosha, yoga's version of contentment, it seemed right up there with enlightenment in terms of what I could accomplish in this lifetime. Cultivate a sense of being all right with who I was and what I had? Impossible. To me, contentment was fleeting and based on whether I'd gotten what I wanted, usually from some outside source. But santosha proposed a contentment that could be intentionally cultivated, independent of the external sources of happiness and value we usually count on and measure ourselves by. Santosha is being okay with what we have and who we are, right now.”
