25 Inspirational Yoga Quotes

 
 
 
 

Are you a quote junkie? I am.

I love quotes. Even more than that, I really enjoy collecting and reading anything to do with breathwork, mindfulness and especially yoga!

Did you know, when we’re lacking the inspiration and motivation to practice yoga, reading quotes about it and the philosophies, may provide us with a quick and timely burst of wisdom to get that focus back?

 
 

How does this work? How could reading quotes about yoga motivate us to get back to our practice at home or in a studio?

 

3 ways quotes may motivate us:

  1. Inspiration and Motivation: Yoga quotes often encapsulate the wisdom and teachings of yoga masters. These words can inspire and motivate you to start or continue your yoga practice. They can remind you of the benefits of yoga and encourage you to make it a part of your daily routine.

  2. Mindfulness and Focus: Reading yoga quotes can help bring your mind into a state of focus and mindfulness, which is a key aspect of yoga. It can help you concentrate on your breath, posture, and the present moment, enhancing your yoga practice.

  3. Understanding and Insight: Yoga quotes can provide insight into the philosophy and principles of yoga. They can help you understand the deeper meanings and purposes of yoga beyond the physical postures, such as self-awareness, inner peace, and connection with the universe.
