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.”

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

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

Happy, happy, happy…

Oh, I like Happy Baby !

happybaby

We are not going to change the whole world, but we can change ourselves and feel free as birds.
We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil. Serenity is contagious.
If we smile at someone, he or she will smile back. And a smile costs nothing.
We should plague everyone with joy.
If we are to die in a minute, why not die happily, laughing?

Let us be full…

July 18, 2013

“When the asana is correct there is a lightness, a freedom.
Freedom comes when every part of the body is active.
Let us be free in whatever posture we are doing.
Let us be full in whatever we do”.
