“Here begins the authoritative instruction on Yoga”

Yoga Sutra 1.1

Sage Patanjali

 

 

 

“Where is the conflict  when the Truth is known,

Where is the disease when the mind is clear,

Where is death when the breath is controlled,

Therefore, surrender to Yoga.”

                                                   ~Sri T.Krishnamacharya

 

“Anybody who wants to can practice yoga.  Anybody can breathe; therefore anybody can practice yoga.  But no one
can practice every kind of yoga.  It has to be the right yoga for the person.  The student and teacher meet and decide on a program that is acceptable and suitable to the person”                                              ~T.K.V. Desikachar

“We practice to deepen our self awareness, establish ourself in the present, set direction for our future and actualize our full potential”
~Gary Kraftsow

 

                                                                                         “For the benefit of all beings”

                                          ~Mirka Scalco Kraftsow
