Knowledge of yoga is no substitute for practice.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Yoga is the music of the soul. So do continue, and the gates of the soul will open.
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
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
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
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
The light that Yoga sheds on life is something special. It is transformative. It does not just change the way we see things it transforms the person who sees.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Asana is perfect firmness of body, steadiness of intelligence, and benevolence of spirit.
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
If we become aware of its limitations and compulsions, we can transcend them.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Nothing can be forced, receptivity is everything.
B.K.S. Iyengar
