Jana Yoga Quotes

#1. The moments of satisfaction you experience are not in a subject/‌object relationship where you can say "I am free, I am happy." These moments without thought, dream or representation are our true nature, fullness, which cannot be projected. It is an experience encountered where there is neither somebody experiencing nor a thing experienced. Only this reality is spiritual. All other states, "highs," whether brought about by techniques, experiences or drugs, even the so often exalted samadhi, are phenomena‌ - ‌and carry with them traces of objectivity. In other words, as what you are is not a state, it is a waste of time and energy chasing more and more experiences in the hope of coming closer to the non-experience. #Quote by Jean Klein

#2. In yoga . . . many may take one path as a key in order to experience self-realisation while others take another path, but I say that there is absolutely no difference between the various practices of yoga." - B. K. S. Iyengar, The Tree of Yoga, p. 15 #Quote by Georg Feuerstein

#14. We could say that meditation doesn't have a reason or doesn't have a purpose. In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment. #Quote by Alan W. Watts

So I started teaching them! #Quote by Kristin Davis

#17. Gradually, people are connecting with my music, and that means the world to me. #Quote by Jana Kramer

#18. I remember reading about an NFL receiver who studies yoga so that his limber limbs won't be surprised when they're slammed into strange positions as he plays his full-contact sport.

#19. I started practicing yoga. I started learning some hands-on healing stuff.

#27. SpongeBob SquarePants vs. Squidward Tentacles
When SpongeBob SquarePants
tried to have kinky sex with Squidward Tentacles,
SpongeBob was confused
as to whether to suck the octopus's nose
or use Squidward's head as a butt-plug.
SpongeBob appreciated a challenge
and decided to do both at the same time.
Now SpongeBob has a lucrative career
as a Yoga instructor at
Yogis Anonymous in Santa Monica.
