I never blame myself when I’m not hitting. I just blame the bat, and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn’t my fault that I’m not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?” – Yogi Bear In the movie, they discover that the greedy Mayor Brown attempted to sell the park for his own selfish sake. But, their love for Jellystone Park motivated them to protect it at any cost. Yogi, Boo Boo, and their other friends then join forces to stop the Mayor.

If you want to be sad, no one in the world can make you happy. But if you make up your mind to be happy, no one and nothing on earth can take that happiness from you." - Paramahansa Yogananda When you make someone happy, you see his or her happy face and feel happy yourself. If you have really experienced the joy of just giving something for the sake of giving, you will wait greedily for opportunities to get that joy again and again. Many people think that by renouncing everything, by becoming selfless and desireless, there is no enjoyment. No. That is not so. Instead, you become the happiest man or woman. The more you serve, the more happiness you enjoy. Such a person knows the secret of life. There is a joy in losing everything, in giving everything. You cannot be eternally happy by possessing things. The more you possess, the more sad you become. ― Sri Swami SatchidanandaInspiration Inspiration is an essential component to a healthy and vibrant yoga practice. We actively seek out inspirational teachers, photographers, places, videos and stories to share with you. Please let us know what inspires you! Yoga sequences are designed to uncover our birthright: love, joy, and freedom.

Make others truly happy as you strive to make yourself happy. Speak a helpful word. Give a cheering smile. Do a kind act. Serve a little. Wipe the tears of one who is in distress. Render smooth a rough place in another’s path. You will feel great joy. — Sivananda Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.If you want to learn something, read about it. If you want to understand something, write about it. If you want to master something, teach it.” — Yogi Bhajan In this lecture, “Learn to be you” Yogi Bhajan, also known as the Siri Singh Sahib, discusses how to live authentically. This lecture is very intense and gives you great insights into Yoga Bhajan’s teachings. This lecture is from February 12, 1995 at the Guru Ram Das Ashram in Los Angeles, CA. Be a lamp to yourself. Be your own confidence. Hold on to the truth within yourself as to the only truth. Special Sequences Looking for something different?

You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there.” – Yogi Berra Follow your nature. The practice is really about uncovering your own pose; we have great respect for our teachers, but unless we can uncover our own pose in the moment, it’s not practice — it’s mimicry. Rest deeply in Savasana every day. Always enter that pratyahara (withdrawn state) every day. And just enjoy yourself. For many years I mistook discipline as ambition. Now I believe it to be more about consistency. Do get on the mat. Practice and life are not that different. Vogue and Self are putting out the message of yoginis as buff and perfect. If you start doing yoga for those reasons, fine. Most people get beyond that and see that it’s much, much more.Yogi Berra lounges on one of the gifts he received during ‘Yogi Berra Day’ prior to a game at Yankee Stadium in 1959. Photograph: Olen Collection/Diamond Images/Getty Images When I was five years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. Yoga 101: The Basics Yoga is a vast collection of spiritual techniques and practices aimed at integrating mind, body and spirit to achieve a state of enlightenment or oneness with the universe. What is normally thought of as “yoga” in the West is really Hatha Yoga, one of the many paths of yoga. The different paths of yoga emphasize different approaches and techniques, but ultimately lead to the same goal of unification and enlightenment. Though yoga’s ultimate aim is lofty, its essence is practical and scientific as it emphasizes direct experience and observable results. It is not a religion, but a practice of personal inquiry and exploration. As the cultural and religious diversity of practitioners attest, yogic philosophy speaks to universal truths that can be incorporated within any belief system.

If you hear a voice within you say, “you cannot paint,” then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced. One of the fundamental principles of yoga: a small action done repeatedly can make an enormous difference.Panels in the film pair various Yogi-isms with sayings from other sages throughout history, from Confucius to Einstein. “If you come to a fork in the road, take it” accompanies Robert Frost’s observation, “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less traveled by.” Your body structure is not based on What vitamin you eat, What vegetable you eat, What protein you take in. Your pranic body and your auric body must coincide to keep you young and alive. That’s where youth is. If you take half an hour to forty-five minutes to do a good set of Kundalini Yoga, that will keep you going.” — Yogi Bhajan Remember the emphasis on the heart. The mind lives in doubt and the heart lives in trust. When you trust, suddenly you become centered. For those who live in Jellystone Park, their biggest obstacle would be its shutdown. This situation even drove Ranger John Smith to the verge of giving up, but the optimistic bears helped him rekindle his hope to move forward. So, keep your hope alive like what Yogi and Boo Boo did.
