The present moment…

December 18, 2013

“Prana or breath, is truly one of yogas greatest gifts,
as focus on the breath brings a focus to the present moment
and leads to a state of inner peace.”

Yoga is to be lived…

December 2, 2013

“True yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life.
Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived.
Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been; yoga cares about the person you are becoming.”

Aadil Palkhivala

The ocean is the self…

November 18, 2013

“An asana is not a posture which you assume mechanically.
It involves thought, at the end of which balance is achieved between movement and resistance.
When the mind is controlled and still, what remains is the soul.
The ocean is the self, the waves are the thoughts.
The self is silent, the thoughts make noise.”

BKS Iyengar
