B.K.S. IyengarYoga is an art, a science and a philosophy. It touches the life of man at every level, physical, mental, and spiritual. It is a practical method for making one's life purposeful, useful and noble.
B.K.S. IyengarThe beauty of a lake reflects the beauty around it. When the mind is still, the beauty of the Self is seen reflected in it.
B.K.S. IyengarTo do is hard, but to teach is still harder. Do not teach only to teach. Teach to improve the pupil. To be a teacher requires tremendous, vigorous discipline on oneself. We are teachers because somebody demands it from us. But the teacher should first rub his own self, and teach afterwards
