More quotes by 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
Yoga has to be done with the intellect of the head as well as the intellect of the heart
B.K.S. Iyengar
As we shave it happens that we cut ourself with the razor blade this does not mean that we must not shave in the morning any longer. It is the same thing for yoga.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Asana is perfect firmness of body, steadiness of intelligence, and benevolence of spirit.

That's the beauty of backbends. Emotionally we can never be disturbed, for the emotional centre becomes an extrovert. 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
Do not aim low, you will miss the mark. Aim high and you will be on a threshold of bliss.

Yoga is the rule book for playing the game of Life, but in this game no one needs to lose. It is tough, and you need to train hard. It requires the willingness to think for yourself, to observe and correct, and to surmount occasional setbacks. It demands honesty, sustained application, and above all love in your heart.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Activity and passivity must go together in asanas.
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.

Regular practise of yoga can help you face the turmoil of life with steadiness and stability
B.K.S. Iyengar
When the asana is correct, there is lightness, a freedom. Freedom comes when every part of the body is active. Let us be free in whatever posture we are doing. Let us be full in whatever we do.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Where there is yoga, there is prosperity, success, freedom and bliss.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Through surrender the aspirant's ego is effaced, and . . . grace . . . pours down upon him like a torrential rain.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Hatha Yoga teaches us to use the body as the bow, asana as the arrow, and the soul the target.
