 Breathing in, I know I'm breathing in
Breathing out, I know
as the in-breath grows deep,
the out-breath grows slow.
Breathing in makes me calm.
Breathing out makes me ease.
With the in-breath, I smile.
With the out-breath, I release.
Breathing in, there is only the present moment.
Breathing out, it is a wonderful moment.
-- Thich Nhat Hanh |
Tree pose grows confidence.

Spread love everywhere you go:
First of all in your own house...
Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.
Be the living expression of God's kindness;
kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile,
kindness in your warm greeting.
-- Mother Theresa |
For me, Yoga is a great healing tool,
for it creates positive changes in my physical,
emotional and mental health.

The body is your temple.
Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in.

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson |
 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.
-- The yoga sutras of Patanjali |
