Take Care of Yourself First- It’s Easier to Serve Others Tha... - Dashama Konah Gordon, Journey to Joyful: Transform Your Life with Pranashama Yoga

"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."

"In every moment we are faced with choices that will serve our highest intentions, or gratify our unconscious desires."

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

"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."
