Yoga is meant for the purification of body and its exploration as well as for the refinement of the mind.
B.K.S. IyengarAs we explore the soul, it is important to remember that this exploration will take place within nature (the body), for that is where and what we are.
B.K.S. IyengarAs a mighty river which when properly harnessed by dams and canals, creates a vast reservoir of water, prevents famine and provides abundant power for industry; so also the mind, when controlled, provides a reservoir of peace and generates abundant energy for the human uplift.
