Here are a few of my favorite yoga quotes and sayings:



1. “It’s yoga practice, not yoga perfect.”
I’m not sure who coined this, but it’s a common one
2.. “Yoga does not remove us from the reality or responsibilities of everyday life, but rather places our feet firmly and resolutely in the practical ground of experience. We don’t transcend our lives; we return to the life we left behind in the hopes of something better.” ~ Donna Farhi
3. “Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured.” ~ B.K.S. Iyengar
4. “The yoga pose you avoid the most, you need the most.” ~ Unknown
5. “Yoga is an internal practice. The rest is just a circus.” ~ Sri Pattabhi Jois
6. “That nature of yoga is to shine the light of awareness into the darkest corners of the body.” ~ Jason Crandell
7. “In any pose, the breakthrough comes not when you learn what to tighten, but when you learn what to relax.” ~ Bikram
8. “Remember, it doesn’t matter how deep into a posture you go – what does matter is who you are when you get there.” ~ Max Strom
9. “A mind free from all disturbances is Yoga.” ~ Patanjali
10. “The attitude of gratitude is the highest yoga.” ~ Yogi Bhajan
11. “You cannot do yoga. Yoga is your natural state. What you can do are yoga exercises, which may reveal to you where you are resisting your natural state.” ~ Sharon Gannon
12. “Undisturbed calmness of mind is attained by cultivating friendliness toward the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous, and indifference toward the wicked.” ~ Yoga Sutras
13. “Don’t move the way fear makes you move. Move the way love makes you move. Move the way joy makes you move.” ~ Osho
14. “Don’t just do something—sit there!” ~ Unknown
