The body is the prop for the soul. So why not let the body be propped by a wall or a block?

B.K.S. Iyengar

Keep your attention internal, not external, not worrying about what others see, but what the Self sees.
B.K.S. IYENGAR

Attention Self Worry
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.

Cells Intelligent Skins
