Went to Berkshire Mountain Yoga Studio for morning class yesterday, and the teacher read this lovely passage from B.K.S. Iyengar’s book “Light on Life: The Yoga Journey to Wholeness, Inner Peace, and Ultimate Freedom:”

“We begin at the level of the physical body, the aspect of ourselves that is most concrete and accessible to all of us. It is here that yogasana and pranayama practice allow us to understand our body with ever greater insight and through the body to understand our mind and reach our soul. To a yogi, the body is a laboratory for life, a field of experimentation and perpetual research.”
