Yoga is a way of moving into stillness in order to experience the truth of who you are.

Quotes from the same author

Your body's ability to function as a clean and efficient channel is limited by stiffness, lack of strength, and lack of endurance.

The process of yoga is one of undoing the obstructions and limitations in your body and mind that inhibit the free flow of creative life force.
