More quotes by B.K.S. Iyengar
When the restlessness of the mind, intellect and self is stilled through the practice of Yoga, the yogi by the grace of the Spirit within himself finds fulfillment.
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
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
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.
B.K.S. Iyengar
From Freedom of the Body comes Freedom of the Mind and then Ultimate Freedom!

Hard work and humility are essential for spiritual sadhana.
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
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 always tell people, live happily and die majestically.
B.K.S. Iyengar
You do not need to seek freedom in some distant land, for it exists within your own body, heart, mind, and soul.
