“Yoga is not a religion. It is a science, science of well-being, science of youthfulness, science of integrating body, mind and soul.”
“Science of happiness lies in our understanding. The secrets of happiness lie in our capacity to expand our heart.”
“They blended religion and art and science because, at base, science is no more than an investigation of a miracle we can never explain, and art is an interpretation of that miracle.”
“Exercises are like prose, whereas yoga is the poetry of movements.”
“Yoga talks about cat-pose, dog-pose, camel-pose, monkey-pose, bird-pose etc. Why there are so many animal poses? Animals release their emotions and tensions by movements based on their body sensations. But our amygdala in the brain is carrying the “fight or flight response”; it has forgotten the art of releasing the tensions. As human beings, when we are aware about the sensations, we can release that by aware, slow movements. If you do not give movements to the body parts, energy will be stuck and blood circulation will be disturbed. Gradually, that creates chronic physical and mental health problems.”
“Yoga is not just repetation of few postures - it is more about the exploration and discovery of the subtle energies of life.”
“Anything you dream is fiction, and anything you accomplish is science, the whole history of mankind is nothing but science fiction. ”
