Quotes by Georg Feuerstein  (?)

“The postures are only the "skin" of yoga. Hidden behind them are the "flesh and blood" of breath control and mental techniques that are still more difficult to learn, as well as moral practices that require a lifetime of consistent application and that correspond to the skeletal structure of the body. The higher practices of concentration, meditation and unitive ecstasy(samadhi) are analogous to the circulatory and nervous system." Georg Feuerstein The Deeper Dimension of Yoga”
Georg Feuerstein, The Deeper Dimension of Yoga: Theory and Practice

“Boredom is a sign that you're detached from your own bodily experience and aren't living in the present moment.”
Georg Feuerstein, Yoga For Dummies

“Attitudes are enduring tendencies in your mind that show themselves in your behavior as well as your speech. Yoga encourages you to examine all your basic attitudes toward life to discover which ones are dysfunctional so that you can replace them with more appropriate ones.”
Georg Feuerstein, Yoga For Dummies
