The ultimate goal of yoga is to always observe things accurately, and therefore never act in a way that will make us regret our actions later.
T. K. V. Desikachar
It is not only important how long your breath is. What is more important is how smooth and subtle it is. For length of breath without the accompanying subtlety is fruitless.
T. K. V. Desikachar
The practice of yoga only requires us to act and to be attentive in our actions.
T. K. V. Desikachar
If we do not pay attention to ourselves in our practice, then we cannot call it yoga.

T. K. V. Desikachar
Yoga is both the movement toward and the arrival at a point.
T. K. V. Desikachar
Yoga, unlike dance or mime, is not an expression of form for others to watch.
T. K. V. Desikachar
The success of Yoga must not be measured by how flexible your body becomes, but rather by how much it opens your heart.
T. K. V. Desikachar

T. K. V. Desikachar
In stages, the impossible becomes possible.
T. K. V. Desikachar
The way that we see things today does not have to be the way we saw them yesterday. This is because the situations, our relationships to them, ad we ourselves have changed in the interim.
T. K. V. Desikachar
