Welcome to the renovated Yoga
Props website!
I am Ruth, co-
founder
and co-owner of Yoga
Props
.
Kay and I have been making and
selling yoga practice equipment
since 1979. We both still
practice yoga every day.
In addition to
practicing yoga, I love gardening
and photography.
I also read a lot
and write poetry. I
will enjoy sharing from the
quotations I have been collecting
for over 30 years.

"When the truth is known
ignorance cannot be, when the mind
is pure there is no disease, when
the breath is mastered there is no
death, therefore, surrender to
yoga." ~

Don't move the way fear makes you
move. Move the way love makes you
move. Move the way joy makes you
move. ~ Osho

... Thanks to Rushing Water Yoga for this post:
"Attention is the beginning of
devotion" When I walk out into
the world, I take no thoughts
with me. That's not easy, but
you can learn to do it. An empty
mind is hungry, so you look at
everything longer, and closer.
Don't hum! When you listen with
empty ears, you hear more. And
this is the core of the secret:
Attention is the beginning of
devotion.
- Mary Oliver
... what a great sentiment from
poet Mary Oliver - is she an
Iyengar yogi too?

"The problem is all inside
your head ... the answer is easy
if you treat it logically ... I
want to help you in your struggle
to be free."

your Lover")

don
love without truth
isn't love
truth without love
isn't
truth
where they coincide
is laughter
among the pious
is much love.
are they laughing?
no, they're singing
hymns
among the
existentialists
is much truth.
are they laughing?
no, they're pulling
their
grey collars close
around
their skinny necks
on the mountains the
zen monks
leap into the air
& click their
heels.
their laughter rings
over the valley
there is no laziness
in truth or love.
without effort
they exert attention
to the lowly &
the high
attention takes the
shape
of whatever stands
before it
becoming truth
becoming love
becoming an inhabited
life
across my spindly
tomato
in his plastic pot
drape powdery beaded
strands
the aftermath
of oak sex
my petunia folds her
red flower
into a browning
memory
while her new bud
blushes
i'm hungry
what's for
breakfast

"It is true that
two wrongs don't make a right,
as we love to point out to the
people we have wronged.
But one wrong doesn't make a
right, either." ~
James Baldwin
