15 Powerful Meditation Quotes For Mindfulness & Yoga

What is one of the most powerful things you can bring to your yoga practice?

Intention.

A simple intention could be being mindful of the breath. Or to bring more balance and calm into your day.

Once set, your intention becomes your dristhi.

Now, rather than just doing asanas or meditation, your moving or sitting meditation becomes an inward exploration of the mind and body.

According to the first chapter in the second sutra of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, yoga (or union) happens when the mind becomes quiet. This stillness is created by bringing the body, mind, and senses into balance, which, in turn, allow us to become observers rather than doers.

Patanjali goes on to explain that meditation happens when we discover that our relentless pursuit of material desires will never be satisfied.

Yoga, which is a moving meditation, allows us to turn inward and awaken the true nature of our being.

Bring some intention and inspiration into your practice with these powerful meditation quotes.
