B.K.S. Iyengar

Yoga allows you to find an inner peace that is not ruffled and riled by the endless stresses and struggles of life.

Yoga is like music: the rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life/

True concentration is an unbroken thread of awareness.

The head is the seat of intelligence. The heart is the seat of emotion. Both have to work in cooperation with the body.

You must purge yourself before finding faults in others.

When you see a mistake in somebody else, try to find if you are making the same mistake.

This is the way to take judgment and to turn it into improvement.

Do not look at others' bodies with envy or with superiority.

All people are born with different constitutions.Never compare with others.

Each one's capacities are a function of his or her internal strength.Know your capacities and continually improve upon them.

Spirituality is not some external goal that one must seek, but a part of the divine core of each of us, which we must reveal… For the yogi, spirit is not separate from body. Spirituality is not ethereal and outside nature but accessible and palpable in our bodies

We often fool ourselves that we are concentrating because we fix our attention on wavering objects

There is no progress toward ultimate freedom without transformation, and this is the key issue in all lives.

Anything physical is always changing, therefore, its reality is not constant, not eternal. Nature is in this sense like an actor who has only different roles.

Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open.

By drawing our senses of perception inward, we are able to experience the control, silence, and quietness of the mind. This ability to still and gently silence the mind is essential, not only for meditation and the inward journey but also so that the intuitive intelligence can function usefully and in a worthwhile manner in the external world.

Demonstration of one's spiritual realization lies in none other than how one walks among and interacts with one's fellow beings.
