The practice of asanas purges the body of its impurities, bringing strength, firmness, calm, and clarity of mind (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
In backbends, one touches the body physically, mentally, intellectually, consciously and spiritually everywhere (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
Backbends are to be felt more than expressed. The other postures can be expressed and then felt. Like in meditation each person has to feel backbends (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
In forward bends, one uses the outer mind while in backbends the outer mind is silenced and the inner mind is made to work (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
A lamp does not flicker in a place where no wind blows; so it is with a yogi, who controls his mind, intellect and self, being absorbed in the spirit within him (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
Yoga has a threefold impact on health. It keeps healthy people healthy, it inhibits the development of diseases, and it aids recovery from ill health (BKS Iyengar Quotes)

Yoga, an ancient but perfect science, deals with the evolution of humanity. This evolution includes all aspects of one’s being, from bodily health to self-realization (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
When you inhale, you are taking the strength from God. When you exhale, it represents the service you are giving to the world (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
Love begets courage, moderation creates abundance and humility generates power. Courage without love is brutish. Abundance without moderation leads to over-indulgence and decay. Power without humility breeds arrogance and tyranny (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
Illuminated emancipation, freedom, unalloyed and untainted bliss await you, but you have to choose to embark on the Inward Journey to discover it (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
The light that Yoga sheds on life is something special. It is transformative. It does not just change the way we see things; it transforms the person who sees (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
As animals, we walk the earth. As bearers of divine essence, we are among the stars. As human beings, we are caught in the middle, seeking to reconcile the paradox of how to make our way upon earth while striving for something more permanent and more profound (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
It took me whole decades to appreciate the depth and true value of yoga. Sacred texts supported my discoveries, but it was not they that signposted the way. What I learned through yoga, I found out through yoga (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
The beauty of a lake reflects the beauty around it. When the mind is still, the beauty of the Self is seen reflected in it (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
You have to create love and affection for your body, for what it can do for you. Love must be incarnated in the smallest pore of the skin, the smallest cell of the body to make them intelligent so they can collaborate with all the other ones, in the big republic of the body. This love must radiate from you to others (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
As a breeze ruffles the surface of a lake and distorts the images reflected therein, so also the chitta vrtti (fluctuations of mind) disturb the peace of the mind. The still waters of a lake reflect the beauty around it. When the mind is still, the beauty of the Self is seen reflected in it (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
Why should you practice Yoga? To kindle the divine fire within yourself. Everyone has a dormant spark of divinity in him which has to be fanned into flame (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
The battle of yoga is with the body and with the ego. You must conquer your ego, or small self, so that you can let your soul, your big Self, be victorious (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
Our greed comes from our fear that we will not have enough - whether it is money or love that we grasp. Yoga teaches us to let go of these fears and so to realize the abundance around us and within us (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
You must fill every inch of your body with the asana from your chest and arms and legs to the tips of your fingers and toes so that the asana radiates from the core of your body and fills the entire diameter and circumference of your limbs. You must feel your intelligence, your awareness, and your consciousness in every inch of your body (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
People 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 (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
Faith, courage, and intelligent and uninterrupted awareness - these qualities are to be present whether one is wide awake, half asleep, or in deep slumber. An individual who lives like this performs his daily actions with a mind free from selfishness. This is poise in action. And this poise leads to that serenity which is in the truest sense a healthy mind in a healthy body (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
Is it necessary to practice all these asanas, further and further? Is it necessary to develop scientific researches further and further? To a yogi, the body is a laboratory, a field of experiments and perpetual researches (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
That’s the beauty of backbends. Emotionally we can never be disturbed, for the emotional centre becomes an extrovert. When you do Viparita Dandasana, your head looks backwards, but your conscious mind stretches everywhere. Study by observing how the mind gets regulated. You not only know the freedom in the spine, but also the freedom in the spirit (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
If you can adapt to and balance in a world that is always moving and unstable, you learn how to become tolerant to the permanence of change and difference. (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
Don’t practice for cosmetic beauty, practice for cosmic beauty. Practice for inner beauty and inner light. (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 physical body is not only a temple for our soul, but the means by which we embark on the inward journey toward the core. (BKS Iyengar Quotes)
