Do not allow past experiences to be imprinted on your mind. Perform asana each time with a fresh mind and with a fresh approach.
B.K.S. IyengarThe Yogi conquers the body by the practice of asanas, making the body a fit vehicle for the spirit. The Yogi knows that it is a necessary vehicle for the spirit, for a soul without a body is like a bird deprived of its power to fly.
