• Practicing yoga does not eliminate life’s challenges, and neither does it provide us with a convenient trap-door to escape from life’s distractions. Instead, Yoga gives us the skills to meet life head-on with dignity and poise.

• El yoga no nos aparta de la realidad ni de las responsabilidades de la vida cotidiana, sino que coloca nuestros pies firme y decididamente en el terreno práctico de la experiencia. No trascendemos nuestras vidas; volvemos a la vida que dejamos atrás con la esperanza de algo mejor.

• In truth, it matters less what we do in practice than how we do it and why we do it. The same posture, the same sequence, the same meditation with a different intention takes on an entirely new meaning and will have entirely different outcomes.

• Without intention, all these postures, these breathing practices, meditations, and the like can become little more than ineffectual gestures. When animated by intention, however, the simplest movement, the briefest meditation, and the contents of one breath cycle are made potent.

• The process of breathing is the most accurate metaphor we have for the way that we personally approach life, how we live our lives, and how we react to the inevitable changes that life brings us.

• What yoga philosophy and all the great Buddhist teachings tells us is that solidity is a creation of the ordinary mind and that there never was anything permanent to begin with that we could hold on to. Life would be much easier and substantially less painful if we lived with the knowledge of impermanence as the only constant.

• There is no waiting and no delayed gratification because yoga is both the means and the result, and the seed of all that is possible is present at the very beginning. This experience of stillness is possible in the first ten minutes of your first yoga class. It is possible in this very breath.

• Un estudio sobre el tratamiento de pacientes asmáticos realizado por los investigadores John Goyeche, el Dr. Ago y el Dr. Ikemi, sugiere que cualquier tratamiento eficaz debe abordar las emociones reprimidas -como la ansiedad y la autoimagen- además de la dimensión física. Para conseguirlo, animan a corregir las malas posturas y a ayudar a la persona a relajar los músculos respiratorios irrelevantes, al tiempo que se restablece la respiración diafragmática completa. También recomiendan encontrar formas de eliminar el exceso de mucosidad. La buena noticia es que una práctica de la respiración bien redondeada hará todas estas cosas.
