- QUOTES:
- T.K.V. Desikachar: “The recognition of confusion is a form of clarity.”
- T.K.V. Desikachar: “Yoga therapy is 90% waste removal.” AND “If you take care of the exhale the inhale with take care of itself.”
- Leslie Kaminoff: “There are correct ways to do techniques. There is no one right way to breathe.”
- Leslie Kaminoff: “The benefit of learning a new breathing technique is unlearning your old way of breathing.”
- T.K.V. Desikachar: “Your yoga practice must always be a little more clever than your habits (tapas).”
- Amy Matthews, paraphrasing Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen: “Healthy movement is well-distributed: a little bit of movement from a lot of places.”
- Conversely, Leslie Kaminoff says “Unhealthy movement is too much movement coming from too few places repeated too many times (repetitive stress).”
- T.K.V. Desikachar: “Yoga is relationship.”
- Leslie Kaminoff: “It is far more powerful to engage someone in an inquiry than issue a series of instructions and corrections.”
- From Leslie’s work with Amy Matthews, which references her work with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen: “Alignment is a clear pathway of weight passing through balanced joint spaces.”
