So whether you do your first downward dog at 14 or 44, it’s not your history but your presence on your mat that counts.

Yoga, as a way of life and a philosophy, can be practiced by anyone with inclination to undertake it, for yoga belongs to humanity as a whole. It is not the property of any one group or any one individual, but can be followed by any and all, in any corner of the globe, regardless of class, creed or religion.

It would be a shame to lose the precious jewel of liberation in the mud of ignorant body building.

Yoga is 99% practice and 1% theory.

Yoga is your mind control capacity.

Do your practice and all is coming.

If we practice the science of yoga, which is useful to the entire human community and which yields happiness both here and hereafter - if we practice it without fail, we will then attain physical, mental, and spiritual happiness, and our minds will flood towards the Self.

Yoga is possible for anybody who really wants it. Yoga is universal.... But don't approach yoga with a business mind looking for worldly gain.
