"Never too late, never too old, never too bad, and never to sick, to start once again from the scratch." (Bikram Choudhury, Bishnu Ghosh).
"The Spine is the most important thing in human life. It's the greatest nerve center, the source of all energies in the body. A good Spine = a good life; a bad Spine and you're miserable." (Bikram Choudhury, Bishnu Ghosh).
"You have to stretch your Spine in every direction: right, left, backward, forward, twist right, twist left, extension-compression, compression-extension, traction-decompression." (Jim Kallett).
"Having doesn't mean a thing, if you don't know how to Use it." (Bikram Choudhury).
"Yoga you don't Do, nobody Does Yoga. Yoga you TRY. It's the Process of Trying that gives you the benefits, as long as you try the Right Way - the right technique." (Bikram Choudhury).
"Pain kills the Pain, Poison kills the Poison..." (old idiom), "...as long as you do it safely, scientifically, intelligently -- not recklessly." (Jim Kallett).
