The purpose of Yoga is to facilitate the profound inner relaxation that accompanies fearlessness. The release from fear is what finally precipitates the full flowering of love.

Love is what's left when you let go of everything you don't need.

What you're thinking about is what you are being.

It is not arrogant or egotistical to feel good inside. You had nothing to do with it. It's simply the honest response to clearly perceived Reality.

Experience yourself in silence.

Practicing yoga during the day is a matter of keeping your eyes on the road and one ear turned toward the infinite.

Don't teach necessarily what others teachers are teaching. Find what it is that you have to offer and teach that.

Yoga is about how you live your life all of the time.

Stillness is not the absence or negation of energy, life, or movement. Stillness is dynamic. It is unconflicted movement, life in harmony with itself, skill in action. It can be experienced whenever there is total, uninhibited, unconflicted participation in the moment you are in—when you are wholeheartedly present with whatever you are doing.

We have never stayed home long enough to experience the truth about ourselves.

Once you find the truth, no one can hurt you. You can let them off the hook. That is hard! Until then, keep distance, preserve the peace. Eventually it’s like you weren’t hurt.
