Yoga Aphorisms

Yoga Aphorisms


The effect is immediate: It is impossible to
remain impartial after the first taste of Yoga.

Yoga is ‘the way’ to awakening.

The conscious integration of breath and movement
brings me into different stations of receptivity.


With conscious inhalation,
I distinguish with clarity my sentiments.
I ready myself.

With conscious exhalation,
I identify less with my emotions.
I calm myself.


When I begin a pose, I open myself to an
intimate dialogue. Yoga becomes a mirror
where I see my reflection.

My body speaks to me.
The voice is always sincere.
The body doesn’t lie.
When my body needs to speak, I listen.

There is no exemplary Yoga pose.
A pose adjusts with the owner of the body.
Yoga is for every single person ‘Who wants to know’.

The knowledge of Yoga is the knowledge of service.
I teach yoga to help others become empowered.
Empowering others empowers me.
Who is serving, the student or the teacher?
