We are a little piece of continual change, looking at an infinite quantity of continual change.
B.K.S. Iyengar
The body is the prop for the soul. So why not let the body be propped by a wall or a block?
B.K.S. Iyengar
There is a universal reality in ourselves that aligns us with a universal reality that is everywhere.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Love begets courage, moderation creates abundance and humility generates power. Courage without love is brutish. Abundance without moderation leads to over-indulgence and decay. Power without humility breeds arrogance and tyranny.
B.K.S. Iyengar
When the asana is correct, there is lightness, a freedom. Freedom comes when every part of the body is active. Let us be free in whatever posture we are doing. Let us be full in whatever we do.
B.K.S. Iyengar
That's the beauty of backbends. Emotionally we can never be disturbed, for the emotional centre becomes an extrovert. When you do Viparita Dandasana, your head looks backwards, but your conscious mind stretches everywhere. Study by observing how the mind gets regulated. You not only know the freedom in the spine, but also the freedom in the spirit.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Yoga is a way of life it is an art, a science, a philosophy.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Our greed comes from our fear that we will not have enough - whether it is money or love that we grasp. Yoga teaches us to let go of these fears and so to realize the abundance around us and within us.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Is it necessary to practice all these asanas, further and further? Is it necessary to develop scientific researches further and further? To a yogi, the body is a laboratory, a field of experiments and perpetual researches.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Do not stop trying just because perfection eludes you.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Health is not a commodity to be bargained for. It has to be earned through sweat.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Regular practise of yoga can help you face the turmoil of life with steadiness and stability
B.K.S. Iyengar
The pose begins when you want to leave it.
B.K.S. Iyengar
In whatever you are doing, be one: body, soul, mind. Do it beautifully and with purity.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Many ask me whether pranayama ... postpones old age. Why worry about it? Death is certain. Let it come when it comes. Just keep working. The soul has no age. It doesn't die. Only the body decays. And yet, we must never forget the body, since it is the garden we must cherish and cultivate.
B.K.S. Iyengar
How can you know God if you don't know your big toe?
B.K.S. Iyengar
If you balance in the Present, you are living in Eternity
B.K.S. Iyengar
The hardness of a diamond is part of its usefulness, but its true value is in the light that shines through it.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Backbends are not poses meant for expressionism. Backbends are meant to understand the back parts of our bodies. The front body can be seen with the eyes, but the back body can only be felt. That's why I say these are the most advanced postures, where the mind begins to look at the back.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Action is movement with intelligence. The world is filled with movement. What the world needs is more conscious movement, more action.
