More quotes by B.K.S. Iyengar
Words cannot convey the value of yoga - it has to be experienced.
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
Savasana is being without was, being without will be. It is being without anyone who is.
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
Classics postures, when practiced with discrimination and awareness, bring the body, mind, and consciousness into a single, harmonious whole.
B.K.S. Iyengar
The back is like a frame, the front body, the painting that it throws into relief.
B.K.S. Iyengar

B.K.S. Iyengar
Lack of knowledge is the source of all pains and sorrows whether dormant, attenuated, interrupted or fully active.
B.K.S. Iyengar
We are a little piece of continual change, looking at an infinite quantity of continual change.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Health is not a commodity to be bargained for. It has to be earned through sweat.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Is it necessary to practice all these asanas, further and further? Is it necessary to develop scientific researches further and further? To a yogi, the body is a laboratory, a field of experiments and perpetual researches.
B.K.S. Iyengar
It is through your body that you realize you are a spark of divinity.
B.K.S. Iyengar
This practice of yoga is to remove the weeds from the body so that the garden can grow.
B.K.S. Iyengar
The decision to relax rather than to grip, even in the face of impatience or fear, is a conscious and brave choice.
B.K.S. Iyengar
If we become aware of its limitations and compulsions, we can transcend them.
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
One's spiritual realization lies in none other than how one walks among and interacts with one's fellow beings.
B.K.S. Iyengar
To do is hard, but to teach is still harder. Do not teach only to teach. Teach to improve the pupil. To be a teacher requires tremendous, vigorous discipline on oneself. We are teachers because somebody demands it from us. But the teacher should first rub his own self, and teach afterwards
