Dashama Konah Gordon, Journey to Joyful: Transform Your Life with Pranashama Yoga

"When we carry the thoughts of negativity and self-criticism, we inspire just what we don’t want: poor health and an unattractive physical body."

"Breathe Through the Pain, It Always Gets Easier with Time."

"Thoughts are one of the most creative powers we have as human beings. If you hold the mantra in your mind that you are continually becoming more healthful and radiant, that is what you will become."

"Our greatest opportunities are to let go and surrender to that which is greater than our egoistic needs and desires."

"Please don’t worry that yoga will contradict your religious belief systems, as Pranashama Yoga embraces all religions and beliefs systems. I believe we are all One and that Love is the highest truth. Love is my Religion."

"We are born into this precious human existence to achieve the uni cation of opposites and become enlightened, or liberated, from the illusion of separation."

"Breath is your link to life; the direct connection to your spirit."

"See yourself as the perfect creation that you are, but at the same time, recognize with sincere honesty, the areas of your life that are out of balance and get to work to improve and grow."

"By justifying our harmful negative habits, we live in delusion. We are lying to ourselves. And worse yet, we waste the precious opportunity of living our truth."

"Be Grateful- Your Life is a Miracle."

"When we return continually to the present moment and our centered awareness within it, we remember we are eternally connected to the Supreme Source that lives within us."

"Whether you’re at the peak or the valley of any given wave, remember that this too shall pass."

"If we are not living IN our bodies, honoring them as our TEMPLE, we are closing off the divine channels (nadis) of energy that run through us. Additionally, when we are not in good physical shape, we limit our enjoyment of our life experience. Thus, yoga is spiritual and physical."

"The yoga asana practice was developed to get the body in the best physical condition possible, so that the yoga practitioner would be able to sit for many hours comfortably in meditation. In order to reach the higher spiritual vibrations we must be as strong, flexible and open as possible."

"Polarity exists so that we may discover the truth beyond this world of duality, which is the ultimate purpose of life."

"When you release a trauma on one level of your energetic being, you will experience relief on all other levels simultaneously."

"Please maintain an open mind while exploring the depth and wealth of wisdom that is available through the practice of yoga. You may soon come to see the Union of all religions and philosophies if you maintain an open mind and heart."

"Take Care of Yourself First- It’s Easier to Serve Others That Way."

"Every moment is an opportunity to become more enlightened, more open and expanded. Continually choose that path and you will be free."

"It is key to remember we can maintain a genuine enthusiasm and love for what IS, in the PRESENT moment, enjoy it with gratitude for all of the blessings in our lives."
