A lamp does not flicker in a place where no wind blows so it is with a yogi, who controls his mind, intellect and self, being absorbed in the spirit within him.

Life without tapas, is like a heart without love.
B.K.S. Iyengar
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
Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Yoga is the music of the soul. So do continue, and the gates of the soul will open.
B.K.S. Iyengar
By drawing our senses of perception inward, we are able to experience the control, silence, and quietness of the mind.
B.K.S. Iyengar
As leaves move in the wind, your mind moves with your breath.
B.K.S. Iyengar
If we become aware of its limitations and compulsions, we can transcend them.
B.K.S. Iyengar
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
The study of asana is not about mastering posture. It's about using posture to understand and transform yourself.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Do not live in the future, only the present is real
B.K.S. Iyengar
When your body, mind and soul are healthy and harmonious, you will bring health and harmony to the world- not by withdrawing from the world, but by being a healthy, living organ of the body of humanity.
B.K.S. Iyengar
If you have the right mind, your body can do anything.
