More quotes by B.K.S. Iyengar
Asanas penetrate deep into each layer of the body and ultimately into the consciousness itself.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Nothing can be forced, receptivity is everything.
B.K.S. Iyengar
You exist without the feeling of existence.

By drawing our senses of perception inward, we are able to experience the control, silence, and quietness of the mind.
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

Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured.
B.K.S. Iyengar
You must continue to go back to the beginning, to the foundation, and question the foundation. Even once you‘ve reached Samadhi you must go back so you can create it at will. Samadhi is the beginning of spiritual growth, not the end. You must always be questioning. Enlightenment comes as an accident at first, then you have to learn to recreate it.
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
Yoga allows you to find an inner peace that is not ruffled and riled by the endless stresses and struggles of life.
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
Practice doing yoga with an innocent mind. Then, you will be able to cognize the things happening in your body
B.K.S. Iyengar
Yoga has to be done with the intellect of the head as well as the intellect of the heart
