瑜珈的路上偶爾挫折、難免瓶頸，在晦暗之室中需要一座燈塔、浮沈汪洋中需要一塊浮木。
在探討「心靈」時我們經常陷入自己的情緒迴圈，有時抓不住精神應該前往的方向、迷失了自我目標，或者花了好長一段時間都回不去能量充足的狀態。
還記得學生時期都會在書桌前貼滿鼓勵的字句，讀書讀到苦悶不已時抬頭看看，彷彿枯萎的花草迎向久違的陽光，又能再度站起奮鬥。
巨人的肩膀，澆灌內心徬徨
1. “If you seek peace, be still. If you seek wisdom, be silent. If you seek love, be yourself.” —— Becca Lee
若你尋求平靜，就保持靜止；若你尋求智慧，就保持靜默；若你尋求愛，就擁抱真我。
2. “Yoga is not about tightening your ass. It’s about getting your head out of it.” —— Eric Paskel
瑜珈不只是讓臀部緊實的工具，更重要的是心的領悟。
3. “When you listen to yourself, everything comes naturally. It comes from inside, like a kind of will to do something. Try to be sensitive. That is yoga.” —— Petri Räisänen
當你傾聽內心聲音，一切都會水到渠成，這是源自內在想要完成某件事的慾望。更細膩一點吧！這就是瑜珈。
4. “There is always room for change, but you have to open to that change.” —— Kathryn Budig
永遠都有改變的機會，只願你敞開心胸嘗試。
5. “Yoga is the perfect opportunity to be curious about who you are.” —— Jason Crandell
瑜珈就是你探索自我的最佳鎖鑰。
6. “Your soul is your best friend. Treat it with care, nurture it with growth, feed it with love.” —— Ashourina Yalda
靈魂就是你的知己，悉心照料、伴其成長、溫柔圈養。
7. “That’s why it’s called practice. We have to practice a practice if it is to be of value.” —— Peace Pilgrim
我們需要不斷練習，才能獲得其中價值。這就是為什麼瑜珈被稱作「練習」。
8. “Yoga doesn’t removes us from the reality or responsibilities of everyday life but rather places our feet firmly and resolutely in the practical ground of experience. We don’t transcend out lives; we turn to life we left behind in the hopes of something better.” —— Donna Farhi
瑜珈並不是讓我們抽離現實責任的藉口，而是使我們能透過經驗學習站穩腳步。我們無法超脫，只是在生命遺留下的痕跡中，擁有更好的盼望。
9. “The very heart of yoga practice is ‘abyhasa’－ steady effort in the direction you want to go.” —— Sally Kempton
瑜珈的核心概念「abyhasa」，即是持續不懈的朝自己的目標努力。
10. “In our meditation and in our daily lives there are three qualities that we can nurture, cultivate, and bring out. We already possess these, but they can be ripened: precision, gentleness, and the ability to let go.” —— Pema Chödrön
無論是在冥想或是我們的日常生活中，有三件事是可以在心中孕育培養的，且這是人性中本就存在的，只是需要等待熟成 —— 嚴謹、溫柔、跟放手的勇氣。
