In backbends, one touches the body physically, mentally, intellectually, consciously and spiritually everywhere.
B.K.S. IyengarThe supreme adventure in a manโs life is his journey back to his Creator. To reach the goal he needs well developed and co-ordinated functioning of his body, senses, mind, reason and Self.
B.K.S. IyengarYou must be as joyful when you fail again and again as you are joyful when you succeed. It is often when you fail that you move toward the goal without being aware of it. You must feel joy even when you have not fully succeeded but only moved toward achievement of your goal.
B.K.S. Iyengar
