More quotes by 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
The light that Yoga sheds on life is something special. It is transformative. It does not just change the way we see things it transforms the person who sees.
B.K.S. Iyengar
The hardness of a diamond is part of its usefulness, but its true value is in the light that shines through it.

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
I don’t bring yesterday’s poses to today’s practice. I know yesterday’s poses, but when I practice today I become a beginner. I don’t want yesterday’s experience. I want to see what new understanding may come in addition to what I felt up to now.
