I love to say "please" and you have to accept me that way. If you don't, it's your problem.

Bikram Yoga is the first time you start loving yourself because it is the first time you start seeing yourself.

People should be talking about "yoga asanas" as a competive sport. Because there are many forms of yoga. The most common two forms are hatha yoga and raja yoga. That's mostly what people understand.

If you are being judgemental, that is non-yogic.

Raja yoga is the mental practice and incorporates meditation, pranayama, and mudra. What are the benefits of having a raja yoga practice? The benefit is spirituality.

People can think whatever they think, but that's my strength to go forward.

Whoever, however close to me you may be. Nobody can change my emotions. Even if I am sad it's my own problem, not somebody else's.

Things just happen, it will pass, it's your learning process.

Becoming a victim is your choice.

What's the benefit of hatha yoga? Physical. What do you need to do hatha yoga? Physical body. That's it. Breathing and spirit is a part of any sport. So that's why hatha yoga can be a sport.

If it is easy, something's wrong.

You took life by the horns and tried to hold on tight, for fear of being ripped to shreds, left bloodied and battered.

I thought of Shelley in the hospital, how she said sometimes sadness only looked like anger and judgment. Maybe fear did too.

There is nothing to winning, really. That is, if you happen to be blessed with a keen eye, an agile mind, and no scruples whatsoever.

In meditation, when your thoughts are stopped, you become empty. When you are empty, your mind folds back on itself and you see through the illusions of the material world.

Every man is the maker of his own fortune

When the mighty chains of darkness had me on the ropes, everyone said quit now, that's when I found hope.

Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart.

It is always easy to shine in the dark mud! Choose the difficult task: Amongst the pearls under the sun, try to shine more than them!

In matters of business, no woman stops at integrity.

Beware of the words "internal security," for they are the eternal cry of the oppressor.
