Yoga does not start or end on your mat, but is present in every breath you take.

Yoga exercises are the best connecting tools for unity, human dignity, health, equality, global peace and compassion.

Spirituality is not a religion or a trend__t is a lifestyle. It is a lifestyle of awareness that combines the understanding of faith, body, mind, and soul, allowing us to live modern-day enlightened lives in small and big ways.

Whenever I feel __ess of myself_, or as if I am not as productive as I can be, or abundance is not flowing into my life, or I am not laughing and smiling as much, or my relationships seem stuck and difficult, it is an indication that I am losing that connection. It is like being in a __ad service area_ where calls drop out.

Usually, when people hear the term Yoga, many of them associate it with various physical exercises where they need to twist, turn and stretch their body in complex ways that are known as Asanas, but this is only one type of Yoga, called __atha-Yoga_. In reality, Yoga is an umbrella term for various physical and mental exercises that lead to the overall well-being of a person.By origin, Yoga has mainly five forms:1. Raja Yoga - The realization of divinity through intense meditation2. Karma Yoga _ The realization of divine bliss through your own daily activities and duties3. Hatha Yoga _ The realization of divine well-being through various physical exercises4. Jyana Yoga _ The realization of inexplicable bliss in the pursuit of knowledge5. Bhakti Yoga _ The realization of ecstasy through love and devotion for your Personal GodThe purpose of all Yogas is to set your consciousness lose into the vast domain of the unknown, where your brain circuits simulate various fascinating mental states that are usually unimaginable and unattainable in your everyday consciousness. But the whole yoga thing has nothing to do with God or something of that sort. It is all about various states of the human mind.

The hardest part of any yoga practice is rolling out your mat.

Be present and aware of the privilege of living.

There are many goals but one path - the path of compassion.

Paths are many, Truth is ONE!

Yoga is bringing fitness in body, calmness in mind, kindness in heart and awareness in life.

When life is foggy, path is unclear and mind is dull, remember your breath. It has the power to give you the peace. It has the power to resolve the unsolved equations of life.

Life is made up of a collection of moments that are not ours to keep. The pain we encounter throughout our days spent on this earth comes from the illusion that some moments can be held onto. Clinging to people and experiences that were never ours in the first place is what causes us to miss out on the beauty of the miracle that is the now. All of this is yours, yet none of it is. How could it be? Look around you. Everything is fleeting. To love and let go, love and let go, love and let go...it's the single most important thing we can learn in this lifetime.

Peace is the foundation of yoga. Karma yoga is the effort for bringing peace and happiness in the world.

The purpose of karma yoga is to transcend the bondage of selfish genes through the service of others.

Yoga means addition - addition of energy, strength and beauty to body, mind and soul.

Yoga is the process of eliminating pain _ pain form the body, mind and the society.

It could be said that we become so much a stranger that we disappear and find ourselves reborn in the midst of humanity which is quite a paradox.

The path is paved with consistent, conscious mental and spiritual alertness and the gradual growth of goodness in our heart and clarity in our mind. We are awake. If we keep trying to understand, we will understand. If we keep telling ourselves that we are loved by Life and if we keep looking for evidence of that love, we will find it.
