Taking time out each day to relax and renew is essential to living well.

Compassion is fierce and strong, and it holds people accountable. But it doesn't do it with anger or judgment.

Why are we doing all these handstands, backbends and arm balances? I don't know why we're doing them unless our lives are shaped and changed.

Joy is big. Joy lives in your own drunken electrons, billions of them, spinning and dancing without end in their own intimate Universe, longing for You.

Living your yoga is not just doing it, but being it.

What a horrible thing yellow is.

I can get up at 8am and be rested... or I can get up at 5am and be President.

We do not want to destroy any people. It is precisely because we have been advocating coexistence that we have shed so much blood.

I have mad luck. I'm super-good at games like backgammon or anything that requires rolling dice.
