Yoga is a light, which once lit, will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter the flame.
B.K.S. IyengarThe breath must be enticed or cajoled, like catching a horse in a field, not by chasing after it, but by standing still with an apple in oneโs hand.
B.K.S. IyengarThink light! Try to impart a feeling of lightness to the body. Think light. This can be achieved by mentally extending yourself outwards from the centre of the body, i.e., think tall. Think not just of raising your arms but of extending them outwards and when you are holding them still, think again of reaching still further away from your body. Do not think of yourself as a small compressed suffering thing. Think of yourself as graceful and expanding - no matter how unlikely it may seem at the time.
