Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life, where you do not feel like you are constantly trying to fit broken pieces together.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Image
Any action done with beauty and purity, and in complete harmony of body, mind and soul, is Art.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Image
When you cannot hold the body still, you cannot hold the brain still. If you do not know the silence of the body, you cannot understand the silence of the mind. Action and silence have to go together. If there is action, there must also be silence. If there is silence, there can be conscious action and not just motion.
B.K.S. Iyengar

Keep your attention internal, not external, not worrying about what others see, but what the Self sees.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Image
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.

As animals, we walk the earth. As bearers of divine essence, we are among the stars. As human beings, we are caught in the middle, seeking to reconcile the paradox of how to make our way upon earth while striving for something more permanent and more profound.

Savasana is being without was, being without will be. It is being without anyone who is.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Image
There is no difference in our souls...That is what yoga teaches. When you and I meet together, we forget ourselves -- our cultures and classes. There are no divisions, and we talk mind to mind, soul to soul. We are no different in our deepest needs. We are all humans.

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.
