Birthday wishes for Prashant Iyengar

Make your body the playground of your breath.

We need to study yoga not in the sense of studying the text, but study one’s own body as a text.

In an asana we are creating an observatory; then we are creating a laboratory. Then, an academy for learning, studying, comprehending, and experimenting.

In yoga your own body and mind are the instruments. They are not like other instruments — they change every now and then.
