More quotes by B.K.S. Iyengar
Asanas keep your body, as well as your mind, healthy and active
B.K.S. Iyengar
You must fill every inch of your body with the asana from your chest and arms and legs to the tips of your fingers and toes so that the asana radiates from the core of your body and fills the entire diameter and circumference of your limbs. You must feel your intelligence, your awareness, and your consciousness in every inch of your body.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Your whole being should be symmetrical. Yoga is symmetry. That is why yoga is a basic art.
B.K.S. Iyengar
It is through your body that you realize you are a spark of divinity.
B.K.S. Iyengar
The back is like a frame, the front body, the painting that it throws into relief.
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.
B.K.S. Iyengar
I also say with backbends, you have to be cautiously bold. Not carelessly bold. You have to descend to the dictation of the spine. You cannot command from the brain to do the poses. As you play with a child, guarding the child from injuries, similarly you have to play in backbends, guarding your spine.
B.K.S. Iyengar
I think many of my students have followed the advice I gave years ago, to give more than you take.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Yoga is a way of life it is an art, a science, a philosophy.
B.K.S. Iyengar
As animals, we walk the earth. As bearers of divine essence, we are among the stars. As human beings, we are caught in the middle, seeking to reconcile the paradox of how to make our way upon earth while striving for something more permanent and more profound.
B.K.S. Iyengar
When every asana is multi-petaled, why do you make it single petaled?
B.K.S. Iyengar
Everybody should live quietly whether his experiences are happy or sad, whether they are successes or failures. That is contentment.
B.K.S. Iyengar
One day you too may experience what I have experienced. So right away go and practise.
B.K.S. Iyengar
The practice of asanas purges the body of its impurities, bringing strength, firmness, calm, and clarity of mind.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Do to your capacity. Always strive to extend your capacity. Ten minutes today, after a few days, twelve minutes. Master that, then again extend.
B.K.S. Iyengar
I always tell people, live happily and die majestically.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Persistent practice alone is the key to yoga. As you take pains to learn, continue with devotion what you have learn.
B.K.S. Iyengar
A lamp does not flicker in a place where no wind blows so it is with a yogi, who controls his mind, intellect and self, being absorbed in the spirit within him.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Yoga is like music: the rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life.
B.K.S. Iyengar
By drawing our senses of perception inward, we are able to experience the control, silence, and quietness of the mind.
