Dual Qualities of Alertness & Relaxation
“Āsana must have the dual qualities of alertness and relaxation. There must always be alertness without tension and relaxation without dullness or heaviness. These qualities are achieved by recognizing and observing the reactions of the body and breath to various postures”

TKV Desikachar Quote
“We can speculate on the future. We can recollect from the past. But what is most important is that we live in the present”

TKV Desikachar quote
“Yoga is a journey from dependency to independence”
(TKV Desikachar from “What are we Seeking”)
Yoga in the 21st Century
“In Yoga we have this fundamental idea - anything that disturbs a person, including illness and disease, can be helped if we can act on the mind. What is so special about yoga is that it gives us a way to strengthen our mind. When the mind gets stronger, we can face illness and we feel healthier.”
“…..ancient yoga texts have said that disease and mind are interrelated. If we are sick, our mind is disturbed. If the mind is agitated, we become sick. I am happy that modern science has recognised this. There is no incompatibility here.”
