For all the yoga lovers out there... it's ok if you have a yoga problem. The yoga mat is a good place to turn when talk therapy and antidepressants aren't enough. ~Amy Weintraub By embracing your mother wound as your yoga, you transform what has been a hindrance in your life into a teacher of the heart. ~Phillip Moffitt Yoga is 99% practice and 1% knowledge. ~Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois Sun salutations can energize and warm you, even on the darkest, coldest winter day. ~Carol Krucoff For me, yoga is not just a workout - it's about working on yourself. ~Mary Glover, "Health Profile: Yoga leaves aches and pains behind," Arizona Republic, 6 April 2004 (page E3, article by Connie Midey) The beauty is that people often come here for the stretch, and leave with a lot more. ~Liza Ciano, co-owner and co-director of Yoga Vermont, yogavermont.com Yoga in Mayfair or Fifth Avenue, or in any other place which is on the telephone, is a spiritual fake. ~Carl Jung Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape. ~Author Unknown Vogue and Self are putting out the message of yoginis as buff and perfect. If you start doing yoga for those reasons, fine. Most people get beyond that and see that it's much, much more. ~Patricia Walden Don't just do something - sit there! ~Author Unknown I was in yoga the other day. I was in full lotus position. My chakras were all aligned. My mind is cleared of all clatter and I'm looking out of my third eye and everything that I'm supposed to be doing. It's amazing what comes up, when you sit in that silence. "Mama keeps whites bright like the sunlight, Mama's got the magic of Clorox 2." ~Ellen DeGeneres Anyone who practices can obtain success in yoga but not one who is lazy. Constant practice alone is the secret of success. ~Svatmarama, Hatha Yoga Pradipika Yoga is the perfect opportunity to be curious about who you are. ~Jason Crandell, quoted in Yoga Journal, November 2005 Yoga is invigoration in relaxation. Freedom in routine. Confidence through self control. Energy within and energy without. ~Ymber Delecto

	Cheerkellie March 06, 2009 12:32 AM	How do people like hot yoga? I'm really interested in it, and love doing yoga in general, but hot yoga seems so beneficial in so many ways. I'm debating switching to a gym that offers it, but also offers less yoga in general:( Would it be worth it? Is it that much more great as the idea behind it seems like it would be? Anyone have any links to places in Ontario, specifically in the Toronto/Durham area?

	MarciaKat January 21, 2009 4:06 AM	I suggest to anyone... to try out different styles of yoga from studios! Definitely try a Pranayama (breathing) class and maybe a Meditation class. Yin yoga and Taoist yoga are fabulous and get deep.

	MarciaKat January 21, 2009 4:05 AM	Yoga is a mental and physical neccessity! Namaste!

	Skamber July 31, 2008 5:02 PM	I used to attend a Yoga class on a regular basis when I was in the Air Force, it was free and easily assesable to me. Anyways since I moved out here to Colorado Springs last August I haven't found (really looked) a Yoga class to attend. Any suggestions?
