- "Yoga doesn't want to fix or change anything about you. That's because yoga doesn't think there's anything wrong with you or that you're broken. Yoga is about using simple, gentle and creative movements to access and touch every cell of your physical body, so you can stay healthy and well. And when you breathe deep and free, you have a chance to quiet down your mind and awaken to the most incredible miracle possible - that you're alive. That you're here. So after class, someone please come tell me what could be more f'ing amazing than that - because I'd love to know." BK 3/4/13
- Be soft in your practice. Think of the method as a fine silvery stream, not a raging waterfall. Follow the stream, have faith in its course."Sheng-yen
- "Yoga will never tell you what to do. If you want to be told what to do, join a religion. They'll tell you what to do. Yoga simple says, wake the F' up. Wake up and come to know thyself. Some call it sucking the juice out of life. Others call it becoming present. Who cares what it's called - why not simply experience it, so you can realize the most beautiful miracle that's unfolding every moment of your life - you're here." - Bryan Kest
- "For the next 75 minutes, don’t look around, don’t compare, don’t list all the ways you are not good enough to be here, and don’t hate yourself. Just Breathe. Just Breathe. Just Breathe. Just be in your body and remember how good a place it is to be, really." -To the other fat girl in yoga class
- come as you are. do what makes you feel good. leave as you want to be.
- "You don’t have to change yourself. You don’t have to sit still.You don’t have to sit cross-legged. You don’t have to make your mind blank. You don’t have to calm down. The more real with yourself you are, the better. The essence of meditation is simple: select some aspect of life’s self-renewing rhythm that you love, and dive in. Allow your love to attract you inward toward the essence of inspiration." - Lorin Roche
