More quotes by B.K.S. Iyengar
The union of nature and soul removes the veil of ignorance that covers our intelligence.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life, where you do not feel like you are constantly trying to fit broken pieces together.
B.K.S. Iyengar
You have to create love and affection for your body, for what it can do for you. Love must be incarnated in the smallest pore of the skin, the smallest cell of the body to make them intelligent so they can collaborate with all the other ones, in the big republic of the body. This love must radiate from you to others.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Approach each asana with freshness every day.
B.K.S. Iyengar

B.K.S. Iyengar

Hard work and humility are essential for spiritual sadhana.
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
As a well cut diamond has many facets, each reflecting a different color of light, so does the word yoga, each facet reflecting a different shade of meaning and revealing different aspects of the entire range of human endeavor to win inner peace and happiness.
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
It is while practicing yoga asanas that you learn the art of adjustment.
B.K.S. Iyengar
I don't stretch my body as if it is an object. I do yoga from the self towards the body, not the other way around.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Yoga is more than physical. It is cellular, mental, intellectual and spiritual-it involves man in his entire being
B.K.S. Iyengar
When the mind is controlled and still what remains is the soul
B.K.S. Iyengar
Where there is yoga, there is prosperity, success, freedom and bliss.
