Yoga Quotes About Creating Space Through Breathwork
- “Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh
- “Emotions and breath are known to have a deep relationship. Animals such as the rat and rabbit have fast breathing and so are extremely nervous, mentally unstable, emotionally restless, and live only for a short period of time. In contrast, the elephant and turtle are slow, deep breathers and consequently have calmer personality and longer lives.” ― Dr. Ananda Bhavan
- “When the breath wanders, the Mind is unsteady, but when the Breath is still, so is the mind still.” ― Svatmarama
- “The most powerful tool for healing lies within you — your breath.” ― Deborah Davis
- “Breathe and you know that you are alive.” ― Annabel Laity
Yoga Quotes About Creating Space With Yin Yoga
- “The breath flows in and just before it turns to flow out, there is a flash of pure joy – life is renewed. Awaken into that. As the breath is released and flows out, there is a pulse as it turns to flow in. In that turn, you are empty. Enter that emptiness as the source of all life.” ― The Radiance Sutras
- “Each yin pose an opportunity to crawl into ourselves and stay a while.” ― Sarah Powers
- “You need to experience this to really know what Yin Yoga is all about. After you have experienced it, even just once, you will realize that you have been doing only half of the asana practice.” ― Bernie Clark
- “Our goal in life is not to become perfect: our goal is to become whole.” ― Bernie Clark
- “The essence of yin is yielding. Yang is about changing the world; yin accepts the world as it is. Neither is better than the other. There are indeed times when it is appropriate and even necessary to change the world; other times, it is best to just allow things to unfold. Part of the yin practice is learning this yielding.” ― Bernie Clark
- “Consider your will and your body as two dancers, moving in total unison. Too many beginning and even experienced yoga students make their yoga into a wrestling match—the mind contending with the body, forcing it into postures that the body is resisting. Yoga is a dance, not a wrestling match.” ― Bernie Clark
