As you play with a child, guarding the child from injuries, similarly you have to play in backbends, guarding your spine."

-- B.K.S. Iyengar

“Spirit is not a mystic concept. The spirit of a person is manifest in her aliveness, brightness of his eyes, in the resonance of her voice and in the ease and gracefulness of his movements.
