About the Notebooks

Foreword

Being an aerospace designer by trade, and traveling to yoga
conferences, work-shops and retreats for personal growth,
I have had the great privilege of attending the classes of
some wonderful and passionate yoga teachers. This
notebook evolved from the many notebooks that I filled with
my own insights during my travels, taking notes along the
way. Since this work is comprised of common quotes,
classroom teachings and original thought, it is practically
impossible to accurately designate authorship quote by
quote. I have included all historically documented sources.
All of the rhymes and word plays are my original Yoga
musings.

Designed to be practical and useful for years, the covers are
laminated to resist moisture and the useful quote pages are
printed on ivory colored paper for quick reference. The entire
notebook is 8.5 inches long by 3.66 inches wide, designed
to fit within your yoga matbag. The notebook has 2 binding
rings that will release to facilitate the addition of more pages
or your own additional information.

NOTE - If you do teacher trainings, this book is great
take-away item for your new teacher trainees. Also, I am
willing to work with you if you would like to create your own
version of this notebook.

COPYRIGHTED AND ISBN - This compilation of quotes and
original thought has been copyrighted and has an assigned
ISBN tracking number for ease of warehousing and accounting.

Using the Notebook

Choose only a couple of selections from each section before
teaching, then inject them into your class in a timely manner.
Quotes have been repeated if applicable to various sections
and the information itself has been approached from a variety
of perspectives to facilitate absorption. The extra and
backside pages are provided for your own memorable yoga
thoughts.My rule of thumb is: Write down anything that you
hear or think of that rings true or provides a revelation.

Before Class and Mental Prep


Perceive your practice as an offering to the moment or body prayer.

Empower your yoga as a study in movement potential.

Realize that the first step along the path of growth is acceptance of
where you are.

Refocus your awareness from the external to the internal prior to
practice.

Breath and Bandhas

Interweave the unbroken continuity of breath with conscious movement
and relaxation.

Realize that yoga without breath control is stretching.

Allow the breath to emulate the ebb and flow of waves gently caressing
the seashore.

Perceive the Bandhas as the core from which all movements and
perceptions emanate.

Points to Ponder During Class

Yoga isn't about self-improvement, it's about self-awareness. -Patanjali

Seek the balance between effort and comfort.

Allow yielding and non-resistance to create fluidity.

Do not force your practice, let it unfold.

Diving to Deeper Levels

Release your clenched fist of self-definition to reveal the emptiness within.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matter to what lies
within us. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Perceive the body as the manifestation of consciousness.

When the mind focuses on the past or future; the present is obscured.

Facing Challenges

Satisfaction lies in the effort not the attainment, full effort is full victory.
-Mahatma Gandhi

Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can. -John Wooden

The last difficulty in any posture is to make it look effortless.

Savasana and Closing Thoughts

Cultivate within yourself the serenity to accept the things that you
cannot change, the courage to change things that you can and the
wisdom to know the difference. - Reinhold Niebuhr

Bring peace to the mind’s turbulent waters by finding the stillness
underneath.

Success is not to be measured by wealth, power or fame, but instead, by
the ratio of what a person could be and what they actually are. - H.G.Wells

The only Journey is the Journey within. - Rainer Maria Rilke

Favorite Metaphors and Jokes

Michelangelo Story - When asked how he created such wonderful
statues he replied - "The statues are already within the stone, all I
have to do is remove the excess." Your own statue lies within you.

Joan Rivers quote on forward bends.
"If God had meant for me to fold at the waist, he would have scattered
diamonds on the ground."
