The challenge of yoga is to go beyond our limits - within reason. We continually expand the frame of the mind by using the canvas of the body. It is as if you were to stretch a canvas more and create a larger surface for a painting. But we must respect the present form of our body. If you pull too much at once, we will rip the canvas. If the practice of today damages the practice of tomorrow, it is not correct practice.
B.K.S. IyengarChange leads to disappointment if it is not sustained. Transformation is sustained change, and it is achieved through practice.
B.K.S. IyengarYour whole being should be symmetrical. Yoga is symmetry. That is why yoga is a basic art.
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. IyengarWhen you cannot hold the body still, you cannot hold the brain still. If you do not know the silence of the body, you cannot understand the silence of the mind. Action and silence have to go together. If there is action, there must also be silence. If there is silence, there can be conscious action and not just motion.
B.K.S. IyengarOne has to see oneself through one's actions, works, and mind. Knowing the Self by the self is not as easy as writing that line. A #โ yogi sees things in every movement he makes, maybe when practicing, maybe when teaching, or maybe when talking to people. You should have courage in your convictions and pursue what is dear to you all these years.
