Here are some of our favorite quotes that we use in class... Enjoy them and please send me your favorites.... Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured. ~ B.K.S. Iyengar "The light that Yoga sheds on life is something special. It is transformative. It does not just change the way we see things; it transforms the person who sees. " ~ BKS Iyengar "Samskaras are like ruts on a muddy road. The more the wheel travels over them, the deeper the groove gets and the harder it is for the wheel, like our emotional tendencies to break free from them." ~ David Yglesias "A yogi starts each day a new. Every morning we set our intention for the day. We live that day and then we are done with it. Some days we reach our goals, some days we do not, but in the end we steadfastly accomplish our intentions." ~ David Yglesias "In yoga we talk about living for the moment. Each moment that ticks by is a moment that is gone forever; never again being able to be enjoyed and savored. It is the same way for our goals. If we think too far into the future, and not think about the individual breaths we take, our goals become overwhelming and unattainable." ~ David Yglesias "Yoga uses the body to discipline the mind and to reach the soul." ~ BKs Iyengar "And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." ~ Anais Nin "The body follows the mind and the mind follows the breath." ~ unknown "Please do not worry about how you are doing your yoga, instead think about what your yoga is doing for you, for your heart," ~ unknown "I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world." ~ Mother Teresa "Yoga is 99% practice and 1% knowledge." ~ Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois " A true and steady yogi is utterly content with
the wisdom of real knowledge, and is not disturbed by anything, has controlled
and calmed his senses, and looks with a equal vision on a pile of dirt, a
stone or a nugget of gold. "Each spiritual journey begins with a step forward—the moment when you realize that there's more to life than you've been living." ~ Vicky Thompson "It is not how many time you fall, but in how many times you get up that makes you strong." ~ unknown "We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make our world." ~ Buddha "Those who danced were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche "The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists." ~Japanese Proverb "When you’re experiencing peace, it’s coming from within you; you’re ‘doing’ peace and this is true of anything else you might be looking for. Love, happiness, contentment, well-being come from within. Nothing external needs to change for you to have what you want…..If you want to be happier – be happier. If you want to be more relaxed – relax. If you want more friends – be friendly. Sounds simple. It is," ~ Cheri Huber "Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment. Only this moment is life." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh You are like a candle. Imagine you are sending light out all around you. All your words, thoughts and actions are going in many directions. If you say something kind, your kind words go in many directions, and you yourself go with them. We are ...transforming and continuing in a different form at every moment. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh You are what you want to become. Why search anymore? You are a wonderful manifestation. The whole universe has come together to make your existence possible. There is nothing that is not you. The kingdom of God, the Pure Land, nirvana, happiness, and liberation are all you. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh "Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy." ~Thich Nhat Hanh " Be Yourself. Life is precious as it is. All the elements for your happiness are already here. There is no need to run, strive, search, or struggle. Just Be. " ~ Thich Nhat Hanh " You have to do it by yourself. You can not do it alone." ~Thich Nhat Hanh "My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand." ~Thich Nhat Hanh " We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available. We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive. Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh " Be aware of the contact between your feet and the Earth. Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet. We have caused a lot of damage to the Earth. Now it is time for us to take good care of her. We bring our peace and calm to the surface of the Earth and share the lesson of love. We walk in that spirit." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh " When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh "In truth, it matters less what we do in practice than how we do it and why we do it. The same posture, the same sequence, the same meditation with a different intention takes on an entirely new meaning and will have entirely different outcomes." ~ Donna Farhi "Without intention, all these postures, these breathing practices, meditations, and the like can become little more than ineffectual gestures. When animated by intention, however, the simplest movement, the briefest meditation, and the contents of one breath cycle are made potent." ~ Donna Farhi “Fear exists until the moment when the unavoidable happens, after that we must waste none of our energy on it.” ~ Paulo Coehlo Breathing in, I know I’m breathing in. "Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, "When you look at life through the eyes of gratitude, the world becomes a wonderful place. The more you find to be grateful about, the more you find to be grateful about. Gratitude is a wonderful antidote to depression. It lifts you out of your small self and gives you an expanded view." ~ Unknown "Enlightenment is the "quiet acceptance of what is". I believe the truly enlightened beings are those who refuse to allow themselves to be distressed over things that simply are the way they are." ~ Wayne Dyer "At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us." ~ Albert Schweitzer "You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life; you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you." ~Sarah Ban Breathnach "We were born with a balanced pure, clean heart. Over time, life has filled our memories with experiences both good and bad. The beauty in our hearts can be eaten away by dwelling on the past, holding on to resentments and living in anger. Our mind can only have one thought at any given moment why not spend that thought in gratitude for the wonderful blessing we have been given. Gratitude protects our spirit and makes negative energy impenetrable. A wise person lives in present moment, thankful always for what they do have in their lives." ~ David Yglesias "Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it." ~ Mark Twain "The Warrior of the Light sometimes behaves like water, flowing around the obstacles he encounters. Occasionally, resistance might mean destruction, and so he adapts to the circumstances. He adapts, without complaint, that the stones in his path hinder his way through the mountains. Therein lies the strength of water: It cannot be touched by a hammer or ripped to shreds by a knife. The strongest sword in the world cannot scar its surface. The River adapts itself to whatever route prove possible, but the river never forgets its one objective: the sea. So fragile at its source, it gradually gathers the strength of the other rivers in encounters. And, after a certain point, its power is absolute." - Warrior Of The Lights ~ Paulo Coelho "If something happens once, it may never happen again. If it happens twice it most likely will keep happening." The Alchemist ~ Paulo Coelho"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. " ~ Melody Beattie "We cannot see our reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see." ~ Taoist Proverb "Just for Now, without asking how, let yourself sink into stillness. Just for now, lay down the weight you so patiently bear upon your shoulders. Feel the earth receive you, and the infinite expanse of the sky grow even wider as your awareness reaches up to meet it. Just for now, allow a wave of breath to enliven your experience. Breathe out whatever blocks you from the truth. Just for now, be boundless, free, with awakened energy tingling in your hands and feet. Drink in the possibility of being who and what you really are – so fully alive that the world looks different, newly born and vibrant, just for now. " ~ Danna Faulds "For those wounded by civilization, yoga is the most healing salve." ~ T. Guillemets "Yoga is the perfect opportunity to be curious about who you are. " ~ Jason Crandell "Try to let go of the idea that you need to do yoga perfectly in order to see its benefits. Rather, let it be a process of waking up to who you really are. If you do this, you will know joy. And that joy will be your gift to a world that very much needs our healing," ~ Darren Main "Forget about enlightenment. Sit down wherever you are and listen to the wind that is singing in your veins. Feel the love, the longing and the fear in your bones. Open your heart to who you are, right now, not who you would like to be. Not the saint you’re striving to become. But the being right here before you, inside you, around you. All of you is holy. You’re already more and less than whatever you can know. Breathe out, look in, let go," ~ John Welwood. "While everything around me is ever changing, ever dying, there is underlying that change a living power that is changeless, that holds all together, that creates, dissolves and recreates.... For I can see in the midst of death, life persists, in the midst of untruth, truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists," ~ Mohandas K. Gandhi. "Be the change you want to see in the world," ~ Mohandas K. Gandhi "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."~ Mohandas K. Gandhi "Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive, because your words become your behaviors. Keep your behaviors positive, because your behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny." ~ Mohandas K. Gandhi "The Buddha taught we shouldn't shun the world any more than we should cling to it. Instead, we should seek to greet each moment with an awake and compassionate heart. The world is not a trap to be escaped. Rather, it's the sacred dance of the God and the Goddess, the formless Divine coming together again and again in the form of mountains and creeks and redwood trees and exploding galaxies. The world of jasmine and broken bottles, waterfalls and dying cannot be separated from The Ultimate Reality-- they are one and the same. When we flow through our yoga poses, when we sit in meditation and watch the mystery of breath coming in and out, we are celebrating the embodied Divine. This human body, this human life, is where we know love, where we touch the Infinite," ~Ann Cushman "All the wonders you seek are within yourself. We should seek to discover our own special light. Know how to live within yourself; there in your soul lives a whole world of mysterious and enchanted thoughts; they will be drowned by noise of this world. Be still and listen to their singing and be silent." ~Combination of Tyutchev, Brown and Dunbar "Have patience with all things, but chiefly, have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them and every day begin the task anew." ~Saint Francis de Sake " The first step toward change is acceptance. Once you accept yourself, you open the door to change. That's all you have to do. Change is not something you do, it is something you allow." ~Will Garcia "To successfully open the door to heightened awareness, we must open it inward." ~Wayne Dyer "Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." ~Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they do not have half the strength you think they have." ~Norman Vincent Peale "Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson "The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly." ~Buddha "At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by 'I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was naked and you clothed me, I was homeless and you took me in.' Hungry not only for bread - but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing - but naked for human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks - but homeless because of rejection." ~Mother Teresa "Humility is the mother of all virtues; purity, charity and obedience. It is in being humble that our love becomes real, devoted and ardent. If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal." ~Mother Teresa "Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting." ~Mother Teresa "The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread." ~Mother Teresa "When one door closes another opens. But often we look so long so regretfully upon the closed door that we fail to see the one that has opened for us." ~Helen Keller " May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into "You recreate and renew yourselves everyday in your mind. You are nothing but a mosaic of what you have thought and felt. You should not worry about the past, because you cannot change it, you should not worry about tomorrow, because it does not yet exist, live in the present moment earnestly and passionately. What you think, you become, have great thoughts and continue to live in peace and greatness." ~David Yglesias "Who you are today is nothing but a culmination the the thoughts we had in our past. What we are thinking today we will become in our future. Taste each moment like it is your last and live in the present moment earnestly and wisely, if we do, the future will take care of itself." ~David Yglesias "Changing the world begins with the very personal process of changing yourself, the only place you can begin is where you are, "Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know,and you'll see the way to fly." ~Richard Bach (from 'Johnathan Livingstone Seagull') " "What you love, you empower and what you fear, you empower and what you empower, you attract ~ unknown " The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen nor touched but are felt in the heart." ~ Hellen Keller "Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time, then your time on earth will be filled with glory." ~ Betty Smith "If we understood the power of our thoughts, we would guard them more closely. If we understood the awesome power of our words, " Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It is a way of entering into the quiet that is already there - buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day." ~ Deepak Chopr "Joy is a return to the deep harmony of body, mind, and spirit that was yours at birth and that can be yours again. That openness to love, that capacity for wholeness with the world around you, is still within you. ~ Deepak Chopra "Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and initiations, to waste on a moment on yesterdays.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.' ~ unknown "Our greatest fear is that we will lose the love in our life... that we will be abandoned, left alone, bereaved, misunderstood, deprived, hated and rejected....but we can never be OUT OF LOVE. We are love and if our minds separate ourselves from who we really are it is a painful delusion. Ego personalities, including our own, might separate ourselves from love but love never dies because it is what we are made of." ~ Susan Mitchell. "Just Keep Breathing." ~ Robert G Yglesias "No one ever says, 'I wish I hadn't done Yoga today...'" Unknown "What time is it? ..... The answer is now." "Release what does not serve you" " Do what you are doing with full awareness, without judgement or grasping and just be. "Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time." ~ Paulo Coelho "You can't wait for the end of your problems for you to be present. It has to be done whereever you are - which is now" ~ Eckart Tolle "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." ~ Mathew 11:28 "Sometimes our light goes out but is blown again into flame by an encounter with another human being. Each of us owes the deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this inner light." ~ Albert Schweitzer "Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared." ~ Buddha "It is from that place of intense aliveness, spacious presence, that you can appreciate the aliveness in all things. It is more than just the sense perception of the chair or the perception of the table or the glass of water. Within the sense perceptions you can sense that there is more than what you are perceiving on the surface; that everything has a presence, an alive presence to it. When you touch that within you, then you don't have to wait for something to happen in your life to feel more alive." ~ from Gabriela Bjork “When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way.” ~ Wayne Dyer “A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed...It feels an impulsion...this is the place to go now. But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.” ~ Richard Bach “In my life there is an infinite supply of love, it is in exhaustible, i can never use it all in this lifetime so i don't have to be sparing with it!” ~ Louise L. Hay “Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.” ~ Bernice Johnson Reagon "When you realize how perfect everything is, you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky." ~ Buddha “You never really leave a place or person you love, part of them you take with you, leaving a part of yourself behind.” ~ Unknown To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest." ~ Unkown “There are times when silence has the loudest voice.” ~ Leroy Brownlow "Nobody can hurt me without my permission." ~ Gandhi “When you try to stay on the surface of the water, you sink; but when you try to sink, you float.” ~ Zen Proverb "Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong." ~ Lao-Tzu "Sometimes the paths we take are long and hard, but remember: those are always the ones that lead to the most beautiful views." ~ Unknown “We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.” ~ Stephen R. Covey “Grow where you are planted.” ~ Unknown “If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.” ~ Buddha "The more light you allow within you, the brighter the world you live in will be." ~ Shakti Gawain The Dalai Lama was asked what surprised him most, he said “Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.” ~ Dalai Lama "Remind yourself that you are not your thoughts, you are not your feelings, you are not your memories, you are not any of the voices in your head. You are the creator and they your creation, but they are not you. " ~ Brahma Kumaris "The heart is the hub of all sacred places. Go there and roam." ~ Bhagawan Nityananda "I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love." ~ Mother Teresa "The stone is always broken by the last stroke. It doesn't mean that the previous strokes were useless. success is a result of continuous efforts “The future depends on what we do in the present.” ~ Mohandas K. Gandhi "We may win a battle, but if in doing so we have planted thousands of seeds of hatred and fear..the war is not over- only the "There's no reality except the one contained within us. "There are two mistakes one can make along the road to living our deepest truth…not going all the way, and not starting." ~ Buddha
