    “There are different body structures,
    therefore not all Āsana are enjoined.”
    – From T Krishnamacharya’s composition,
    the Yoga Rahasya Chapter One verse 31

    “When the body is disordered,
    make use of the body to reduce.
    When thought is agitated,
    make use of Prāṇāyāma to reduce.”
    – From T Krishnamacharya’s composition,
    The Yoga Rahasya Chapter Four verse 31

    “Holding the body steady, with the three upper parts erect,
    causing the senses and the mind to enter the heart,
    the wise person should cross by the boat of Mantra,
    all the fear bringing streams of the mind.”
    – Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad Chapter 2 verse 8
