Do not live in the future, only the present is real
B.K.S. Iyengar
When your body, mind and soul are healthy and harmonious, you will bring health and harmony to the world- not by withdrawing from the world, but by being a healthy, living organ of the body of humanity.
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.

There is no difference in our souls...That is what yoga teaches. When you and I meet together, we forget ourselves -- our cultures and classes. There are no divisions, and we talk mind to mind, soul to soul. We are no different in our deepest needs. We are all humans.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Yoga aims for complete awareness in everything you do.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Health begins with firmness in the body, deepens to emotional stability, then leads to intellectual clarity, wisdom and finally the unveiling of the soul.
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 you can adapt to and balance in a world that is always moving and unstable, you learn how to become tolerant to the permanence of change and difference.
B.K.S. Iyengar
In whatever you are doing, be one: body, soul, mind. Do it beautifully and with purity.
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
Yoga is more than physical. It is cellular, mental, intellectual and spiritual-it involves man in his entire being
B.K.S. Iyengar
It is while practicing yoga asanas that you learn the art of adjustment.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Why should you practice Yoga? To kindle the divine fire within yourself. Everyone has a dormant spark of divinity in him which has to be fanned into flame.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Feeling the movement of movements is wandering to the past or future. Living in the movements of movement is being in the present.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Lack of knowledge is the source of all pains and sorrows whether dormant, attenuated, interrupted or fully active.
B.K.S. Iyengar
While doing the postures, your mind should be in half-consciousn ess, which does not mean sleep. It means silence, emptiness, space, which can then be filled with an acute awareness of the sensations given by the posture. You watch yourself from inside. It is a full silence.
B.K.S. Iyengar
