quotations about yoga
Yoga practice can make us more and more sensitive to subtler and subtler sensations in the body. Paying attention to and staying with finer and finer sensations within the body is one of the surest ways to steady the wandering mind.

The Wisdom of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras
People have been practicing yoga since 2250 BC, which is way before any gyms existed. This was back when people ran to get away from predators, Crossfit was called doing chores and yoga was a technique to release all your pent-up physical energy to prepare for meditation.

Yoga is the cessation of mind.
PATANJALI
The Yoga Sutras
Yoga in the West has become over identified with the physical, with the form, and with the fashion of the form. This is problematic. If we have a good teacher, we soon see that there is nothing to fear. The idea of yoga is to take care of our physical limitations and get beyond our self-obsession. We learn that we can let go of this ego identification and have a glimpse of a much wider field of experience.
