People won't remember what you said or did, but how they felt around you.
~Maya Angelou
Slowing down is the precursor to yoga practice because this simple act allows us to consider our thoughts, feelings and actions more carefully in the light of our desire to live peacefully.
~Donna Farhi
Should you shield the canyons from the windstorms, you would never see the true beauty of their carvings.
~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
As you progress in your Yoga practice, take the time to pause frequently and ask, “Who am I becoming through this practice? Am I becoming the kind of person I would like to have as a friend?"
~Donna Farhi
Vocation is that place where a deep gladness in your heart meets a deep need in the world.

Remember the goal is not to tie ourselves in knots-we’re already tied in knots. The aim is to untie the knots in our heart. The aim is to un-tie with the ultimate, loving, and peaceful power of the universe and fully awaken into the highest level of human consciousness.
~Max Strom
While practicing yoga do not kill the instinct of the body for the glory of the pose. Do not look at your body as a stranger, but adopt a friendly approach towards it. Watch it, listen to it, observe its needs, its requests, and even have fun.
~Vanda Scaravelli
The asana is really not the yoga. It is the residue the asana leaves in our minds and bodies and hearts that is the yoga.
~Judith Lasater
The cracked vase lasts.

Excellence does not require perfection.
~William James
Until we understand what the land is, we are at odds with everything we touch. And to come to that understanding it is necessary, even now, to leave the regions of our conquest-the cleared fields, the towns and cities, the highways-and re-enter the woods.
~Wendell Berry
You don’t need to practice every day, only on days you want to feel better.
~Judith Lasater
Let the beauty you love be what you do.
~Rumi
Our practice is ultimately an act of remembrance. We remember who we are at our best. We remember our goodness and capacity to forgive. We remember our courage. And from that place we act, we make choices that shape our life. This we can trust. Of this we are certain.
~ Max Strom
Enhancing the respiratory function is the surest and simplest way to increase the adaptive capacity in the organism.
.~Thomas Myers
A good posture practice alone produces better health, strength, and flexibility, i.e., certain health and athletic benefits. But a practice of postures combined with a devoted breathing practice will open the lungs and release old grief from the chest and shoulders and hips, calming the nervous system and causing the storm within the mind to begin to recede.
~Max Strom
Yoga is the practice of action and reflection, it is not yoga without both.
~Judith Lasater
I believe that through the consistent practices of opening the heart center and quieting the mind, we can begin the natural liberation of one of our highest functions, the conscience. Once the conscience is awakened, ethical issues seem to become clearer as a new compassion for our fellow men and women leads us to actions which are kind and just.
~Max Strom
We know who we are, but not who we might become.
