Yoga quote

The role of the limbs in yoga is both physical and spiritual. The first four limbs are internal yoga. The fifth is a transition between the external and internal limbs. The remaining limbs are displayed through "divine grace." Yoga students are able to practice the external limbs of yoga, whereas the internal limbs are birthed through sincere and continued practice. Nevertheless, the limbs are interconnected and facilitate one another.

Yoga carves you into a different person--and that is satisfying physically.

The young should not think of themselves as immature and the elderly need not view themselves as feeble. Our minds control our bodies. Have no age, transcend both past and future, and enter into naka-ima -- the "eternal present."

Whatever you do in life, yoga shows you how to do it better.

Yoga is so universal in its principles and so holistically beneficial, it is possible for any person, young or old, religious or agnostic, to embrace and enjoy a practice.

If one is looking for progress, or results, then one is already off the path according to yoga.

Although yoga has its origins in ancient India, its methods and purposes are universal, relying not on cultural background, faith or deity, but simply on the individual. Yoga has become important in the lives of many contemporary Westerners, sometimes as a way of improving health and fitness of the body, but also as a means of personal and spiritual development.

So, is the well-toned figure sweating it out on the yoga mat doing yoga? Yes, by using the body the yogi trains the attention to handle the perennial questions. But the person walking their dog beside the river and contemplating the truth behind self, life and death, is also doing yoga. The beauty of yoga is that it meets us wherever we are and then invites us to continue the exploration.

Yoga and alcohol may seem to be on polar opposites of the health spectrum, but a new health craze encourages practitioners to have their beer and drink it, too. The classes are often hosted in breweries and are introducing new audiences to yoga. By pairing booze and bending, beer yoga appeals to those who might not be interested in the more typical structure of a yoga class. As Beth Cosi, founder of Bendy Brewski, told Yahoo News, "We get the men in the door mostly because it's in a brewery and they get a beer afterward. That's the carrot."

When I was a child, my father would sometimes practice yoga several times a day, and we kids would be in the living room watching Happy Days! So I don't think we have to be so rigid.

Can you remember what it was like to walk in the midst of a world of miracles? Can you remember ever traveling within a world of pure delight with a joy untainted by craving or aversion? What happened to that world? All yoga, including the Buddha's yoga, is often called "the path of return" -- a return to our true home, which we eventually come to see was never really lost.

I think that's why I got to therapy and yoga at an early age. I realized that I'm accountable. I'm not here for very long on this planet and I want to do this life well, as consciously and mindfully as I can.

Yoga is not a religion. It is a science, science of well-being, science of youthfulness, science of integrating body, mind and soul.

After--or even during--yoga, I'd sometimes end up in tears. And it wasn't because I was in physical pain; it was because I was having emotional breakthroughs.

Our duty is wakefulness, the fundamental condition of life itself. The unseen, the unheard, the untouchable is what weaves the fabric of our see-able universe together.
