More quotes by B.K.S. Iyengar
Healthy plants and trees yield abundant flowers and fruits. Similarly, from a healthy person, smiles and happiness shine forth like the rays of the sun.
B.K.S. Iyengar

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
Backbends are not poses meant for expressionism. Backbends are meant to understand the back parts of our bodies. The front body can be seen with the eyes, but the back body can only be felt. That's why I say these are the most advanced postures, where the mind begins to look at the back.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Nothing can be forced, receptivity is everything.

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.

It is through your body that you realize you are a spark of divinity.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Our flawed mechanisms of perception and thought are not a cause for grief, but an opportunity to evolve, for an internal evolution of consciousness that will also make possible, in a sustainable form, our aspirations toward what we call individual success and global progress.
B.K.S. Iyengar
If you have the right mind, your body can do anything.
B.K.S. Iyengar
One day you too may experience what I have experienced. So right away go and practise.
B.K.S. Iyengar
We are a little piece of continual change, looking at an infinite quantity of continual change.
B.K.S. Iyengar
The practice of asanas purges the body of its impurities, bringing strength, firmness, calm, and clarity of mind.
