The light that Yoga sheds on life is something special. It is transformative. It does not just change the way we see things; it transforms the person who sees.

Yoga is not a religion. It is not just a system of exercises to keep the body fit or to cure minor physical disorders. Yoga is a discipline for the fullest development of the soul, mind, and body. Yoga is a scientific, holistic approach to life.

Let your entire life be a sacrifice for humanity. That is the secret of Yoga.

In India, yoga flows in the blood of people.

The mind is responsible for the feelings of pleasure and pain. Control of the mind is the highest Yoga.

Yoga allows you to find an inner peace that is not ruffled and riled by the endless stresses and struggles of life.

Perfection in action is Yoga. (Bhagavad Gita)

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

Yoga stimulates different nerves in your body, especially the Vagus nerve that carries information from the brain to most of the body's major organs, slows everything down and allows self-regulation. It's the nerve that is associated with the parasympathetic system and emotions like love, joy and compassion.

Kriya Yoga is based on scientific breathing that pacifies, slows the breathing process and makes the breath flow inside the nostrils, not outside. By the practice of Kriya Yoga, in a short time, the mind becomes calm, quiet and thoughtless. The blood, absorbing sufficient oxygen and getting de-carbonized, brings better living. We may become free from the stress and strain of life.

The principle of Yoga is the turning of one or all powers of our human existence into a means of reaching divine Being.

When mind controls man, it’s... Bhoga (bondage). But when man controls mind, it’s...Yoga

The higher Truth is all the time working in us but through the lower power - Aparashakti. It is when we become conscious of the play of this higher Power then only yoga begins.

The practice of Yoga brings us face to face with the extraordinary complexity of our own being.

Yoga is not just an exercise system. Yoga is the Science of obliterating the boundaries of individuality to know the universality of one’s existence.

I don't stretch my body as if it is an object. I do yoga from the self towards the body, not the other way around.

Practice doing yoga with an innocent mind. Then, you will be able to cognize the things happening in your body.

By persistent and sustained practice, anyone and everyone can make the yoga journey and reach the goal of illumination and freedom.

Yoga is when every cell of the body sings the song of the soul.

The meaning of yoga is samadhi.

The yoga we practice is not for ourselves alone, but for the Divine; its aim is to work out the will of the Divine in the world, to effect a spiritual transformation and to bring down a divine nature and a divine life into the mental, vital and physical nature and life of humanity. Its object is not personal Mukti, although Mukti is a necessary condition of the yoga, but the liberation and transformation of the human being. It is not personal Ananda, but the bringing down of the divine Ananda - Christ's kingdom of heaven, our Satyayuga - upon the earth.

The teaching of the Yoga-Vasishtha emphasises that when there is perception of an object by the seer or observer, there has to be pre-supposed the existence of a consciousness between the subject and the object. If this conscious connecting link were not to be, there would be no perception of existence. There cannot be a consciousness of relation between two things unless there is a consciousness relating the two terms and yet standing above them. The study of the perceptional situation discloses the fact that the subject and the object are phases of a universal consciousness.

The obstacles that distract thought are disease, apathy, doubt, carelessness, indolence, dissipation, false vision, failure to attain a firm basis in yoga, and restlessness.
