Yoga is the study of the human body. It is the surge for the human soul. Rodney Yee More Quotes by Rodney Yee More Quotes From Rodney Yee The most important pieces of equipment you need for doing yoga are your body and your mind. Rodney Yee yogamindsuccess As we look deeply within, we understand our perfect balance. There is no fear of the cycle of birth, life and death. For when you stand in the present moment, you are timeless. Rodney Yee birth-life-and-deatheffectivenesslove Train yourself to be in awe of the subtle, and you will live in a world of beauty and ease. Rodney Yee subtleeaseworld That's exactly how it is in yoga. The places where you have the most resistance are actually the places that are going to be the areas of the greatest liberation. Rodney Yee liberationresistanceyoga When you stand in the present moment, you are timeless. Rodney Yee perfect-balancetimelessmoments Listen deeply. Meditate on that which is arising. Even if it's boredom or difficulty or maybe a feeling of being stuck, that in itself can be the work for your practice. Rodney Yee boredompracticefeelings There's so much fear running our lives that we forget to be human when it really counts. Rodney Yee humansrunningforget Wellness within is mindfulness and acceptance of what you are, what you feel inside and how it's always changing. That process is helped by being attentive to the breath as it moves through the body.

Rodney Yee worthwhileunderstandingdoorways Yoga is really trying to liberate us from ... shame about our bodies. To love your body is a very important thing - I think the health of your mind depends on your being able to love your body. Rodney Yee yogalove-yousuccess Yoga is an ancient discipline in which physical postures, breath practice, meditation, and philosophical study are tools for achieving liberation. In my interpretation, achieving liberation in yoga means learning how to be present with everything that arises, whether it is pain or pleasure, sadness or joy, failure or success. And to be present with whatever arises, I believe we must not only be aware of what is arising but we must also be able to see all things that arise as equal, with detachment.

Rodney Yee bodyplaybeautiful Yoga is the methodology with which to unveil the miracle that exists right in front of our faces and inside ourselves. Rodney Yee miracleyogafaces I have been curious about the mind and body for as long as I can remember. I was a gymnast, a ballet dancer, and a philosophy and physical therapy major. Following the thread of curiosity about mind and body, I took my first yoga class in 1980 and knew from the start that it would be a lifelong passion. Rodney Yee passionyogaphilosophy Yoga is the method to bring or uncover the union that exists. That all things are relative and are in relationship and that nothing is singular or by itself. Rodney Yee methodunionsyoga Teaching is really a natural extension of one's practice--one wants to share something that's so influential and beautiful in one's life. Rodney Yee teachingpracticebeautiful Meditation is a silent way of looking at resistance. You're not running away from it -- you're sitting with the resistance ... basically you're trying to follow the resistance. And I think that's very interesting. Rodney Yee runninginterestingthinking The study of yoga makes me inspired. And then the teaching of yoga makes it that much more real. The sense that this practice and this tool helps other people be centered, be present, and helps them really [be] embodied and [have] a life. Rodney Yee yogarealteaching The practice of yoga has been an amazing tool to actually unearth where my inspiration lives inside my body and mind and heart. Rodney Yee yogainspirationheart Yoga answers a lot of physical problems such as back pain, stress issues, and any kind of joint problems or illnesses. Even more important is the spiritual questioning that comes up around our middle years. We wonder what do I want to hand down to my children, and how do I want to spend my days on this earth? I think yoga begins to help us look at what our passions and our dreams are. And it helps give us the courage once we find passion to actually pursue that! Rodney Yee spiritualdreamchildren
