The primary aim of yoga is to restore the mind to simplicity, peace, and poise, to free it from confusion and distress.
B.K.S. IyengarIf you practice yoga every day with perseverance, you will be able to face the turmoil of life with steadiness and maturity.
B.K.S. IyengarPeople say that steadiness of mind is an end; no, it is a beginning. I am there; I can explain everything up to that point. Then I struggle to discover what comes after, so this steadiness is not an end, it is the beginning and the instrument.
B.K.S. IyengarThe decision to relax rather than to grip, even in the face of impatience or fear, is a conscious and brave choice.
