A Quote by Sharon Gannon
If you practice Yoga for small, selfish reasons, you will remain the same, bound by your beliefs about what you can and cannot do. Let go and offer your effort to limitless potential. Dedicate yourself to the happiness of all beings.

In the end, yoga has less to do with what you can do with your body and more to do with the happiness that unfolds from realizing your full potential.
