“I don't enjoy the diminishing agility of the body!I had knee surgery and I no longer can go do three yoga classes and run. It's not as much fun, physically. But emotionally, it's way more fun. I am so much happier and contented and less agitated - I'm just calmer. So it's like everything in this human existence, it's a trade off - it's like you trade the virility of the body for the agility of the spirit. That's a good line. I have to remember that!” WayHumansBodyRunningRememberSpiritThreeFunEnjoyLinesExistenceClassLike YouYogaTradeKneesSurgeryHuman ExistenceAgilityTrade OffsCalmer Author:Elizabeth Lesser
“There are three types of disease: body disease, mind disease, and nervous system disease. When the mind is diseased, the whole body is diseased.

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
