The practice of asanas purges the body of its impurities, bringing strength, firmness, calm, and clarity of mind.
B.K.S. IyengarSometimes our body is willing, but our mind is weak. Sometimes our mind is willing, but our body is weak. Do not be afraid. Strive to extend your capacity but do not be disappointed with yourself. What does not challenge us, cannot change us.
B.K.S. IyengarAs a fire blazes brightly when the covering of ash over it is scattered by the wind, the divine fire within the body shines in all its majesty when the ashes of desire are scattered by the practice of pranayama.
B.K.S. IyengarA stable mind is like the hub of a wheel. The world may spin around you, but the mind is steady.
B.K.S. Iyengar
