#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
In #meditation and in our daily lives there are three qualities that we can nurture, cultivate, and bring out. We already possess these, but they can be ripened: precision, gentleness, and the ability to let go.
– Pema Chodron
#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
#Yoga is not a #workout, 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
True #yoga is not about the shape of your #body, but the shape of your life. Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose, and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied.
“Through sustained #focus and #meditation on our patterns, habits, and conditioning, we gain #knowledge and #understanding of our past and how we can change the patterns that aren’t serving us to live more freely and fully.”
– #Yoga Sutra III.18
