Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured. – B.K.S. Iyengar
As a mighty river which when properly harnessed by dams and canals, creates a vast reservoir of water, prevents famine and provides abundant power for industry; so also the mind, when controlled, provides a reservoir of peace and generates abundant energy for the human uplift. – B.K.S. Iyengar
Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open. – B.K.S. Iyengar
As 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. Iyengar
Youd like more people to recognise what you do is special. But I take the attitude that the best thing I can do for my sport is to be the best at it.
