BEST YOGA QUOTES 2019

Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh

1. 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. Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose, and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied. – Aadil Palkhivala

2. Yoga begins right where I am – not where I was yesterday or where I long to be. – Linda Sparrowe

3. I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul. – Rumi

4. Yoga is not a work-out, it is a work-in. And this is the point of spiritual practice; to make us teachable; to open up our hearts and focus our awareness so that we can know what we already know and be who we already are. – Rolf Gates

5. Yoga is a light which once lit will never dim, the better your practice the brighter your flame. – B.K.S. Iyengar

6. Mindfulness helps you go home to the present. And every time you go there and recognize a condition of happiness that you have, happiness comes. – Thich Nhat Hanh

7. Your soul is your best friend. Treat it with care, nurture it with growth, feed it with love. – Ashourina Yalda

8. Follow your nature. The practice is really about uncovering your own pose; we have great respect for our teachers, but unless we can uncover our own pose in the moment, it’s not practice — it’s mimicry. Rest deeply in Savasana every day. Always enter that pratyahara (withdrawn state) every day. And just enjoy yourself. For many years I mistook discipline as ambition. Now I believe it to be more about consistency. Do get on the mat. Practice and life are not that different. – Judith Hanson Lasater

9. Yoga is a dance between control and surrender – between pushing and letting go – and when to push and when to let go becomes part of the creative process, part of the open-ended exploration of your being. – Joel Kramer

10. Yoga is the perfect opportunity to be curious about who you are. – Jason Crandell

11. The very heart of yoga practice is an abhyasa – steady effort in the direction you want to go. – Sally Kempton

12. Go from a human being doing yoga to a human being yoga. – Baron Baptiste

13. Yoga is not about touching your toes, it’s about what you learn on the way down. – Jigar Gor

14. Yoga does not change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees. – B.K.S Iyengar

15. People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing. That’s why we recommend it daily. – Zig Ziglar

16. 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

17. Yoga is about clearing away whatever is in us that prevents our living in the most full and whole way. With yoga, we become aware of how and where we are restricted — in body, mind, and heart — and how gradually to open and release these blockages. As these blockages are cleared, our energy is freed. We start to feel more harmonious, more at one with ourselves. Our lives begin to flow — or we begin to flow more in our lives. – Cybele Tomlinson

18. You cannot do yoga. Yoga is your natural state. What you can do are yoga exercises, which may reveal to you where you are resisting your natural state. – Sharon Gannon

19. A photographer gets people to pose for him. A yoga instructor gets people to pose for themselves. – Terri Guillemets

20. You cannot always control what goes on outside, but you can always control what goes on inside. –Wayne Dyer

21. The study of asana is not about mastering posture. It’s about using posture to understand and transform yourself. –B.K.S Iyengar

22. There is always room for change, but you have to be open to that change. –Kathryn Budig

23. Yoga means addition – addition of energy, strength and beauty to body, mind and soul.” –Amit

24. You will never influence the world by trying to be like it.

25. Yoga is not just repetition of few postures – it is more about the exploration and discovery of the subtle energies of life.
