Do not live in the future, only the present is real
B.K.S. Iyengar

When you do Viparita Dandasana, your head looks backwards, but your conscious mind stretches everywhere. Study by observing how the mind gets regulated. You not only know the freedom in the spine, but also the freedom in the spirit.
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
There is no progress toward ultimate freedom without transformation, and this is the key issue in all lives.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Relaxation: In. Every. Pose. There. Should. Be. Repose.

Feeling the movement of movements is wandering to the past or future. Living in the movements of movement is being in the present.
