Text Quotes
The yogi cannot be afraid to die, because he has brought life to every cell of his body. We are afraid to die, because we are afraid we have not lived.

Living in the movements of movement is being in the present  (BKS Iyengar Quotes) If you practice yoga every day with perseverance, you will be able to face the turmoil of life with steadiness and maturity  (BKS Iyengar Quotes) I don’t stretch my body as if it is an object. I do yoga from the self towards the body, not the other way around  (BKS Iyengar Quotes) We can wash the skin of our bodies with a bath, but through asana practice we not only purify our blood and cells, we are cleansing the inner body as we practice  (BKS Iyengar Quotes) Do to your capacity. Always strive to extend your capacity. Ten minutes today, after a few days, twelve minutes. Master that, then again extend  (BKS Iyengar Quotes) When an asana is done correctly the body movements are smooth, there is lightness in the body and freedom in the mind  (BKS Iyengar Quotes) Health begins with firmness in the body, deepens to emotional stability, then leads to intellectual clarity, wisdom and finally the unveiling of the soul  (BKS Iyengar Quotes) The sleeping tortoise takes all its limbs into its carapace.
