"Yoga is more than physical. It is cellular, mental, intellectual and spiritual-it involves man in his entire being"
"When the restlessness of the mind, intellect and self is stilled through the practice of Yoga, the yogi by the grace of the Spirit within himself finds fulfillment."
"Knowledge of yoga is no substitute for practice."
"Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured."
"I'm a big guy so I have to keep my muscles loose. So I do a lot of stretching before the game. I'll do about 10-15 minutes of yoga just to loosen up my body, get warm and get ready to play."

"One of the great sadnesses of modern life, because of our disenfranchisement and disillusionment with religion, is that we don't have access to these ideas. Yoga and meditation, for me, is a way of, in this secular world, accessing very very beautiful principles that would perhaps make us happier, at a time when people feel disillusioned with the economy, concerned about the ecology, worried with politicians, and don't trust what they're being told on television."
"Yoga teaches you how to listen to your body."

"I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life'. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."
"Practice doing yoga with an innocent mind. Then, you will be able to cognize the things happening in your body"
"The ultimate goal of yoga is to realize the brilliance of your soul."
"Yoga is effort. Only practice is important. The rest of knowledge is only theory."
"Yoga is an interior penetration leading to integration of being, senses, breath, mind, intelligence, consciousness, and Self. It is definitely an inward journey, evolution through involution, toward the Soul, which in turn desires to emerge and embrace you in its glory."
"Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life."
"The pose begins when you want to leave it."
"After a session of yoga, the mind becomes tranquil and passive."
