“Yoga is a way of life, it is an art, a science, a philosophy.”

“If the foundation is firm, the building can withstand calamities. The practice of Yoga is the foundation, so that the Self is not shaken under any circumstances.”
“Consciousness, being in conjunction both with the seer and the seen, appears to an average individual to be all-pervading, omniscient and real. When one is cultured and purified, one realises that consciousness has no existence of its own but is dependent on the seer.”

Yoga is the cessation of movements in the consciousness.

“Yoga is an art, a science and a philosophy. It touches the life of man at every level: physical, mental, spiritual. It is a practical method for making one's life purposeful, useful and noble.”
Yogacharya BKS Iyengar, born 14th December 1918, was the world’s foremost modern-day master of yoga, having devoted a lifetime to its study. ‘Guruji’, (as Iyengar is affectionately known to his many thousands of students), is widely credited with introducing yoga to the western world.

“Yoga is for all of us. To limit yoga to national or cultural boundaries is the denial of universal consciousness.”

“Perfection in an asana is achieved when the effort to perform it becomes effortless and the infinite being within is reached.”
“When I practice, I am a philosopher. When I teach, I am a scientist. When I demonstrate, I am an artist.”

The Eight Aspects Of Yoga

On a purely physical level, practice of the asanas (postures) increases muscle tone and general vitality. It also rapidly improves circulation, co-ordination and balance. The practice not only promotes flexibility and skeleto-muscular fitness, it also improves the function of the circulatory, nervous and endocrine systems – offering a truly holistic approach to health and well-being.
