"Knowledge has a beginning but no end."
Celebrating the amazing life of Geetaji Iyengar on the 80th anniversary of her birth - "When this body has been so magnificently and artistically created by God, it is only fitting that we should maintain it in good health and harmony by the most excellent and artistic scence of Yoga."

Lebendigkeit, Verbundenheit und Bewusstheit bringen den Moment zum strahlen

"Freedom in a posture is when every joint is active. Let us be full in whatever posture it is we are doing. Let us be full in whatever we do." ~ BKS Iyengar

'When you know your body perfectly, the infinite is yours, because your mind is free from the entanglements of the body.' ~ BKS Iyengar

She was a brilliant yoga master, sublime, practical and truely compassionate❤️

"Samadhi (union) is the goal of yoga, according to the theoretical explanation of the sastra, but I think that the real goal is somewhere deeper, where the pure being exists. The aim of yoga, as I see it, is ultimately to reach the inner sanctum of eternal truth, which is a long process of transformation.

Small aims produce small gains that can lead a person to the final goal. Through a faithful practice of yoga, a person will develop compassion, patience, sensitivity, contentment, vigour, faith and non-attachment, all of which can be viewed as achievements along the path to discovering the inner being."

Dr Geeta S. Iyengar, 7 December 1944 - 16 December 2018 🙏❤️

So very true! And from rendering asana from your heart also comes intuition, genuine compassion and inner strength.

"You must do the asana with your soul. How can you do an asana with your soul? We can only do it with the organ of the body that is closest to the soul - the heart. So a virtuous asana is done from the heart and not from the head. Then you are not just doing it, but you are in it. Many people try to think their way into an asana, but you must instead feel your way into it through love and devotion" ~ BKS Iyengar, Light on Life
