About This Quote

The idea that the practice of yoga changes from one person to another person is a concept that has been around for a very long time. Robert Moss, a 19th century yogi, wrote this quote roughly 100 years ago, and it has been a popular statement among yogis ever since. Through the ages, there have been many different interpretations of what exactly Magic Yoga is. The common theme among all yogis is a genuine desire to do something to improve themselves and the world around them.
