Willpower is nothing but willingness to do.

B.K.S. Iyengar

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.
B.K.S. IYENGAR

Your whole being should be symmetrical. Yoga is symmetry. That is why yoga is a basic art.
B.K.S. IYENGAR

Art Symmetrical Yoga
The material body has a practical reality that is accessible. It is here and now, and we can do something with it. However, we must not forget that the innermost part of our being is also trying to help us. It wants to come out to the surface and express itself.
B.K.S. IYENGAR

Life Reality Yoga

Mind is the king of the senses; breath is the king of the mind; and the nerves are king of the breath.
B.K.S. IYENGAR

Breath Kings Mind
The Yogi conquers the body by the practice of asanas, making the body a fit vehicle for the spirit. The Yogi knows that it is a necessary vehicle for the spirit, for a soul without a body is like a bird deprived of its power to fly.

The breath must be enticed or cajoled, like catching a horse in a field, not by chasing after it, but by standing still with an apple in one’s hand.
B.K.S. IYENGAR

We are a little piece of continual change, looking at an infinite quantity of continual change.

Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life, where you do not feel like you are constantly trying to fit broken pieces together.
B.K.S. IYENGAR

When you are practicing, do not just do that for the sake of doing. Learn to reflect while you are practising. Make your mind and brain observe and relearn what you are doing. Doing is mechanical; learning is dynamic.
