Here's a little Rumi for all you yogis out there.  (He is a Sufi poet.  I highly reccomend you check him out if you aren't already familiar with his works.)

"Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground."


"Out beyond ideas of  wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field.  I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,'the world is too full to talk about. 
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn't make any sense."

"Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes.
If it were always a fist or always stretched open.
you would be paralyzed.
Your deepest presence is in every small contracting
                                           and expanding,
the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as
birdwings."

May you recognize in your life the prescence, power, and light of your soul.
May you realize that you are never alone,
that your soul in its brightness and belonging connects you intimately with the rhythm of the universe.
May you realize that the shape of your soul is unique, that you have a special destiny here,
that behind the facade of your life there is something beautiful and eternal happening.
May you learn to see yourself with the same delight, pride, and expectation with which God sees you in every moment.

"If you've come to help me, then you're wasting your time.  But, if you've come because your liberation is bound with mine, then let us work together."  - Aboriginal Saying

"You get world peace through inner peace.  If you have a world full of people who have inner peace, then you have a peaceful world.  Inner peace creates world peace." A quote by Dr. Wayne Dyer reminding us that peace is possible.  Stop trying to  control the people around you.  Instead, practice connecting to the peace that already lives within you.  Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om

This is a quote from Erich Schiffman.............
"The purpose of  yoga is to facilitate the profound inner relaxation that accompanies fearlessness.  The release from fear is what finally precipitates sthe full flowering of love. In this state you will love  what you see in others, and others will love you for having been seen.  This is the softened perception of the world that yoga promotes.

 Therefore, the apparently simple benefits that accrue from the regular practice of yoga can change your life in very profound ways.  Do not underestimate the value of being balanced, centered, and   coordinated, of being strong and light, of being more flexible, without pain, experiencing the subsequent feelings of invisibility or transparency, and of being more sensitive.

 Yoga will make you sensitive to the stillness, the presence, the peace of God (Universe).  This deep inner stillness is at the core of your being.  It is the ground, the joy of your being.  The radiant peace you'll experience is what happens naturally when the creative energy of God is allowed to flow through you unobstructed."

May all beings everywhere be happy and free.
