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. IyengarWe must create a marriage between the awareness of the body and that of the mind. When two parties do not cooperate, there is unhappiness on both sides.
B.K.S. IyengarWhen 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
