More quotes by B.K.S. Iyengar
There is no progress toward ultimate freedom without transformation, and this is the key issue in all lives.
B.K.S. Iyengar
In forward bends, one uses the outer mind while in backbends the outer mind is silenced and the inner mind is made to work.
B.K.S. Iyengar
If you balance in the Present, you are living in Eternity
B.K.S. Iyengar
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.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Your body is the child of your soul.
B.K.S. Iyengar
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
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
A yogi never forgets that health must begin with the body. . . .Physical health is not a commodity to be bargained for. Nor can it be swallowed in the form of drugs and pills. . . . It is something that we must build up. You have to create within yourself the experience of beauty, liberation, and infinity. This is health.
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 means and an end.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Yoga is nothing if it is not perfect harmonyof the body, senses, mind and intellect, reason, consciousness and self. When all these are integrated that is true yoga.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Do to your capacity. Always strive to extend your capacity. Ten minutes today, after a few days, twelve minutes. Master that, then again extend.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Through surrender the aspirant's ego is effaced, and . . . grace . . . pours down upon him like a torrential rain.
B.K.S. Iyengar
You exist without the feeling of existence.
B.K.S. Iyengar
The flexibility we gain in asana is the living symbol of the suppleness we gain in relation to life’s problems and challenges.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Yoga takes us to an unconditioned freedom, because yoga sees even good habits as a form of conditioning or limitation.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Hatha Yoga teaches us to use the body as the bow, asana as the arrow, and the soul the target.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Do not live in the future, only the present is real
