“Yoga is an ancient discipline in which physical postures, breath practice, meditation, and philosophical study are tools for achieving liberation. In my interpretation, achieving liberation in yoga means learning how to be present with everything that arises, whether it is pain or pleasure, sadness or joy, failure or success. And to be present with whatever arises, I believe we must not only be aware of what is arising but we must also be able to see all things that arise as equal, with detachment.” BelieveMeanAblePainJoyI BelievePleasurePracticeStudyMeditationSadnessAchieveDisciplineEqualYogaToolsAll ThingsPhilosophicalBreathsAncientAriseLiberationInterpretationDetachmentPosture Book:Moving Toward Balance: 8 Weeks of Yoga with Rodney Yee Source: Moving Toward Balance: 8 Weeks of Yoga with Rodney Yee
“There are three types of disease: body disease, mind disease, and nervous system disease. When the mind is diseased, the whole body is diseased. The yoga scriptures say “Manayeva manu ā ā kara a bandha mok ayo (this verse may be transliterated incorrectly),” the mind is the cause of both bondage and liberation. If the mind is sick and sad, the whole body gets sick, and all is finished. So first you must give medicine to the mind. Mind medicine: that is yoga.” IfsGivingMindFirstsMayWholeBodyThreeCausesTypeDiseaseYogaSickMedicineFinishedScriptureNervousLiberationVersesBondageNervous SystemDiseased Author:K. Pattabhi Jois

“The yoga we practice is not for ourselves alone, but for the Divine; its aim is to work out the will of the Divine in the world, to effect a spiritual transformation and to bring down a divine nature and a divine life into the mental, vital and physical nature and life of humanity. Its object is not personal Mukti, although Mukti is a necessary condition of the yoga, but the liberation and transformation of the human being. It is not personal Ananda, but the bringing down of the divine Ananda - Christ's kingdom of heaven, our Satyayuga - upon the earth.” WorldHumansEarthSpiritualHumanityHeavenChristHuman BeingsPracticeConditionsEffectsObjectsDivineYogaTransformationAimWork OutKingdomsLiberationKingdom Of HeavenSpiritual TransformationDivine NatureDivine LifeNature And Life Author:Sri Aurobindo
