Mary Glover

Yogas citta vrtti nirodhah
The restraint of the modifications of the mind-stuff is Yoga; or, Yoga is the practice of quieting the mind.
Yoga Sutra 1.2

Once in the practice, connecting body-breath-mind, something starts to happen. Yoga starts the first moment a student first pays attention to what he or she is doing in the practice.
Mark Stephens

Someday, somewhere - anywhere, unfailingly you’ll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bittersweet hour of your life.
Pablo Neruda

The yoga mat is a good place to turn when talk therapy and antidepressants aren't enough.

T.K.V. Desikashar

For the very first time in history… the realization will set in that we share a common planet, that we are all affected… We are fast extending our empathetic embrace to the whole of humanity and the vast project of life that envelops this planet. The empathetic civilization is emerging.
Jeremy Rivkin

Yoga comprises so many different approaches and schools that one is justified in calling it the most versatile spiritual tradition in the world.
Georg Feuerstein

Verily, there is no merit higher than Yoga, no good higher than Yoga, no subtlety higher than Yoga; there is nothing that is higher than Yoga.
Yoga Upanisad 1.67

The light came through the window, straight from the sun above. And so inside my little room, there plunged the rays of Love.
Leonard Cohen

When we love what is, it becomes so simple to live in the world. I am a lover of what is, not because I’m a spiritual person, but because it hurts when I argue with reality. What is is.
Byron Katie

Heyam Dukham Anagatum
Suffering that has not yet risen can be avoided; pain that has not yet come is avoidable
Yoga Sutra, 2.16

Non-being can never be; being can never not be. Both these statements are obvious to those who have seen the truth.”
Bhagavad Gita 2.1-20

If we stop for a moment and mindfully welcome a good, deep breath, then slowly exhale, we can save ourselves from getting into lots of trouble.

Be. Here. Now.
Baba Ram Dass

If not now, when?
The Talmud

“Sadhana (spiritual practice) and seva (selfless service) are the two bookends of a meaning-ful life. Each conscious human being has to do some-thing simple yet concrete to acknowledge one’s wholeness—that is sadhana—and the overflow of that wholeness is seva, selfless service.”
Baba Harihar Ramji

We have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So let us ask ourselves – if our children should live to see the next century… what will they see? What progress will we have made? This is our moment to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time… And we will respond to with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people – yes we can.”
President Barack Obama

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all of your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.
Gold Mier

Adventure is worthwhile in itself.
Amelia Earhart

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
Mary Oliver

Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it.
Buddah
