I mean the whole thing about meditation and yoga is about connecting to the higher part of yourself, and then seeing that every living thing is connected in some way.

I get into certain yoga positions at times, when I'm working out and for exercises. I use a little of it in some of my meditation, but I chant now and that sort of replaced it.

Though the names karma yoga and sannyasa are different, the truth at the heart of both is the same.

I meditate and do yoga. I sit cross-legged and try not to levitate too much.

I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week. I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate, and I gained only 30 pounds.

I don't smoke, I try to eat right, and I love doing yoga and going for hikes with my dog.

I no longer say nice things about yoga. I was doing yoga so long before everybody else.

I like green or brown eyes. Tall but not overwhelmingly so. I like men who do yoga and meditate.

Yoga means union, in all its significances and dimensions.

Yoga is an art and science of living.

Yoga is a way to freedom. By its constant practice, we can free ourselves from fear, anguish and loneliness.

I can set up shop anywhere. I've got my oils, I've got my yoga mat and I'm good to go. I must know good yoga classes in about 25 cities on this planet.

I need something to do when I'm not working, or I crawl up the walls. So I've just taken up kung fu. I was looking for some kind of calming, relaxing activity. I tried yoga, but it wasn't really me.

I wanted to share the experience of how yoga and meditation have transformed my life, how they have enabled me to observe who I am, first in my body, and then emotionally, and on to a kind of spiritual path.

Starting out in a beginner class and really understanding the fundamentals of yoga is really important.

Yoga teaches you how to listen to your body.

For me, first, it's finding quiet in my life - and I do that through yoga and meditation. It's also been a matter of changing the way I eat, because I think what we eat can inform who we are; food is a chemical and a drug to a certain extent.

I began by doing physical yoga, initially just for the workout, as exercise. I would get peaceful and calm at the end of it, and I was curious about that.

A lot of exercise is mindless; you can have music or the radio on and not be aware. But if you're aware in anything you do - and it doesn't have to be yoga - it changes you. Being present changes you.

A lot of people over the years have been doing yoga and I think even more these days are expressing an interest in it. So there are a lot of manifestations of spirituality here in town.
