Words to Live By

"In Sanskrit, the ancient root language of the great works of Indian philosophy, the word yuj means 'to join.' The term 'yoga' comes from that word, and symbolizes union -- a joining, or a marriage. Who is getting married here? You are, my friend. Through the physical practice of yoga, you integrate your body and mind in a perfect union. Then, in another marriage, or union, you can merge your body and mind with the godliness, or Spirit, that naturally exists in you and become a whole, fully realized human being."

- Bikram Choudhury, Bikram Yoga
