Yoga takes us to an unconditioned freedom, because yoga sees even good habits as a form of conditioning or limitation.
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.
B.K.S. Iyengar
If you open the armpits, the brain becomes light. You cannot brood or become depressed.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Confidence, clarity and compassion are essential qualities of a teacher.
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
You must purge yourself before finding faults in others.

The breath must be enticed or cajoled, like catching a horse in a field, not by chasing after it, but by standing still with an apple in one’s hand.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Nothing can be forced, receptivity is everything.
B.K.S. Iyengar
You must continue to go back to the beginning, to the foundation, and question the foundation. Even once you‘ve reached Samadhi you must go back so you can create it at will. Samadhi is the beginning of spiritual growth, not the end. You must always be questioning. Enlightenment comes as an accident at first, then you have to learn to recreate it.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Yoga is a way of life it is an art, a science, a philosophy.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Health begins with firmness in the body, deepens to emotional stability, then leads to intellectual clarity, wisdom and finally the unveiling of the soul.
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
Life without tapas, is like a heart without love.
