"I may not have everything I want, but I DO have everything I need."
Eric Gentry, PhD
From his book, Dr. Frederick Leboyer (1978) states:
"Asanas are not merely exercises…[y]oga is not a sport or an amusement. Yoga is a complete approach to life and asanas are only part of it…Yoga and its postures..can heal, cure and transform. But they can just as easily harm or even destroy…you cannot practice postures all by yourself, simply looking at this book. Which is to say, “A teacher is essential.”
