When you cannot hold the body still, you cannot hold the brain still. If you do not know the silence of the body, you cannot understand the silence of the mind.

B.K.S. Iyengar
Any action done with beauty and purity, and in complete harmony of body, mind and soul, is Art.
B.K.S. Iyengar

Sometimes our body is willing, but our mind is weak. Sometimes our mind is willing, but our body is weak. Do not be afraid. Strive to extend your capacity but do not be disappointed with yourself. What does not challenge us, cannot change us.
