Inspirational Words

Sometimes I get so inspired by reading quotations that I thought I would share some of my favourite yoga quotes with you. I hope you enjoy them!

Yoga, an ancient but perfect science, deals with the evolution of humanity. This evolution includes all aspects of one’s being, from bodily health to self-realization. Yoga means union – the union of body with consciousness and consciousness with the soul. Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day-to-day life and endows skill in the performance of one’s actions. B.K.S Iyengar

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

And here is my own:
Yoga at first comes through physical freedom. It is here that you realise the stiffness of the mind. Yoga is when you wake up and realise that you have a responsibility, to yourself and to the world. Yoga is about finding who you are and who you are going to be. Jill Forrest.
