I gave up drinking lots of whiskey and began to practice yoga and meditation. As a result I am not dead.
Good thoughts keep off bad thoughts. They must themselves disappear before the state of realization.

In order to create heat, you have to have something to burn. So what we do in yoga is, we burn ourselves up to create light.
The dedicated ever enjoy Supreme Peace. Therefore, live only to serve.
I am the happiest person I've ever met. This is what Buddhist Yoga and a healthy dose of reading the Declaration of the Independence, The Constitution and the Federalist Papers and anything else I could get my hands on has given me.

I work out as little as I can for as much gain as I can. Yoga and a little bit of ballet -- only 30 or 40 minutes every other day. I keep supple for myself more than for roles.

I don't enjoy the diminishing agility of the body!I had knee surgery and I no longer can go do three yoga classes and run. It's not as much fun, physically. But emotionally, it's way more fun. I am so much happier and contented and less agitated - I'm just calmer. So it's like everything in this human existence, it's a trade off - it's like you trade the virility of the body for the agility of the spirit. That's a good line. I have to remember that!
I don't train for sports. I've never trained for sports. I train for life, and sport is just a part of that. So when I start training, that's lifestyle training and that's why I go through so many things, whether it's yoga, kickboxing, wrestling or swimming.
Fix your awareness gently on the center of your chest. Try to feel love.
Joy only can be achieved through complete detachment, the detachment which is egoless and superegoless.

Through yoga practice you can change the course of your life by purifying your karma. But to do that you must have an idea of where you've been and where you want to go.
Yoga is the cessation of mind.
I work out twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed. I'll start with half an hour of running and then some yoga to stretch everything out so everything is warm.
Everything is illusion, except for the Divine Love of God that is all-pervading which you can feel through your Spirit.
