"Our minds are very strong in how they maintain their habitual patterns. Because of how we have identified with our own particular patterns of thought and emotion, they have great power and are tremendously resistant to change.

This is why a serious Yoga practice requires so much commitment and dedication and regularity. Deep and real changes simply cannot be affected with a practice that is shallow and irregular."

- Govinda

"If we practice the science of yoga, which is useful to the entire human community and which yields happiness both here and hereafter - if we practice it without fail, we will then attain physical, mental, and spiritual happiness, and our minds will flood towards the Self."
- Sri K. Pattabhi Jois

"Do your practice and all is coming."
- Sri K. Pattabhi Jois

"Ashtanga yoga is 99 percent practice, one percent theory."
- Sri K. Pattabhi Jois
