A quote from every one of my yoga teachers: “don’t forget to breathe!”
The more we sweat in peace the less we bleed in war. -Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit
“Make an attitude to be in gratitude, you will find the whole Universe will come to you.” – Yogi Bhajan

Not exactly a yoga quote, but it’s one I use when meditating.
” The most important pieces of equipment you need for doing yoga are your body and your mind. ”
Rodney Yee
For me, yoga is not just a workout – it’s about working on yourself. Mary Glover
my favorite yoga quote:
“Desire, ask, believe, receive.”
– Stella Terrill Mann
I love the sutra “stirum sukham asanam”
Favorite quote “Eye on the drishti!” – my current yoga teacher
“Any belief, whatever it is, is counterproductive in the context of the practice of yoga. One holds a belief instead of knowing. For example, you wouldn’t say you believe in your right ear, since you know your ear, no belief is required. Believing always excludes knowing. When jnana (supreme knowledge) comes through the practice of yoga, you will know. Do not be satisfied with believing.” -Gregor Maehle
Breathe through it, and release anything that does not serve you. ~anonymous~
Another from Sharath: “First month paining, second month tired, third month flying”.
oh em gee…i need a new mat!! it would be divine if i won one. perfect 😉
fav. quote…”namaste'”…says it all, nothin’ better.
grace and peace – jami
I like, “Submit to a daily practice. Your loyalty to that is a ring at the door. Keep knocking, and eventually the joy inside will look out to see who is there.”
I don’t know who it’s by. I had saved it a while ago. It is perfect inspiration to practice every day.
“Practice and all is coming”
“The world is the gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.” – Swami Vivekananda

yoga is the best way to maintain peace and spiritual mind…….
yoga is the way of life!
