Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day-to-day life and endows skill in the performance of one's actions.
B.K.S. IyengarYoga is more than physical. It is cellular, mental, intellectual and spiritual-it involves man in his entire being
B.K.S. IyengarThe physical body is not only a temple for our soul, but the means by which we embark on the inward journey toward the core.
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. IyengarDeath is unimportant to a yogi; he does not mind when he is going to die. What happens after death is immaterial to him. He is only concerned with life-with how he can use his life for the betterment of humanity. Having undergone various types of pain in his life and having acquired a certain mastery over pain, he develops compassion to help society and maintains himself in purity and holiness. The yogi has no interest beyond that.
