Health is not a commodity to be bargained for. It has to be earned through sweat.

B.K.S. Iyengar

My Maman told me that only the crazy ones and the passionate ones accomplish anything in life.
B.K.S. IYENGAR

Accomplish Crazy Passionate
I don’t bring yesterday’s poses to today’s practice. I know yesterday’s poses, but when I practice today I become a beginner. I don’t want yesterday’s experience. I want to see what new understanding may come in addition to what I felt up to now.
B.K.S. IYENGAR

Practice Understanding Yesterday
Do not allow past experiences to be imprinted on your mind. Perform asana each time with a fresh mind and with a fresh approach.

While doing the postures, your mind should be in half-consciousn ess, which does not mean sleep. It means silence, emptiness, space, which can then be filled with an acute awareness of the sensations given by the posture. You watch yourself from inside. It is a full silence.

Asana Posture Study
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.
B.K.S. IYENGAR

Brain Mind Sake
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.
B.K.S. IYENGAR
