Bikram Choudhury Yoga Quotations

The meaning of yoga is connection of mind, body and spirit. If you have a bad telecommunication system, your body gets sick. Yoga helps fix that.

My system works, as long as people let me do my job my way. It is not just the sequence, it is how you do it: the timing, the mirrors, the temperature, the carpet. But if people only do it 99% right, it is 100% wrong. When someone tries to mess with it, the people won't get the yoga benefits.

I guarantee you, yoga will compete with computers, music, sports, automobiles, the drug industry. Yoga will take over the world!

One student was mixing my yoga up with other kinds, and I said, 'No, you cannot do that.' You cannot put calamari in the sushi and call it sushi.

It wasn't easy in the 1970s when I initially started on my mission - to take yoga to the world. Nobody knew what it was in Japan. When I met Bill Clinton for the first time, he asked me if it was a form of yogurt that you eat! But I kept my faith and never gave up on my quest.

Would you rather suffer 90 minutes or 90 years? (Regarding a Bikram Yoga session that takes exactly 90 minutes.)

You have nothing to lose. You had nothing to begin with.

No matter how old or sick or out of shape, you can still stretch and have a new beginning with yoga.

The right way is the hard way.

Let no one steal your peace.

Regardless of your age or current physical condition you'll laugh, cry, moan, groan, sweat and experience the most exciting, hard working and effective therapeutic yoga routine in the world.

Cheer up, things will get worse.

Would you rather suffer 90 minutes or 90 years?

Give me 30 days, I'll change your body. Give me 60 days , I'll change your life

Yoga is the only exercise on this planet from which you gain energy instead of burning energy.

Falling out of a posture means you are human; getting back into the posture means you are a yogi.

Nothing can steal happiness, peace, away from you: if anyone does make you angry, you are the loser; if someone can allow you to lose peace, you are the loser.

Bikram Yoga will give you 'The Key to the Kingdom of Health'

When you practice yoga, first your personality changes, the faith increases, then confidence improves

Yoga is the perfect vehicle for change of yourself. First by creating a strong and powerful body and mind. It is a starting point from which you can begin to realize your human spirit.

Yoga is the only exercise in the world you can do at any age. There is always some posture that will improve your health, mind and soul.

It takes courage and intelligence, you know, to do the stages of Yoga right, and to start with this Hatha Yoga… It’s just you and nothing but you, standing in one spot frozen like a statue with no place to go for help or excuse or scapegoat except inward.

In life you only have to travel 6 inches. That is the distance from your mind to your heart.
