Happy Birthday Mr. Iyengar - December 14th, 1918

December 14th, 2010 marks B.K.S. Iyengar's 92nd birthday! 

Daily I am inspired and blessed from his wonderful teachings and translations. 
I have set an intention for myself this week to do 108 sun salutations to honor his life's work. 
Although I am not teaching classes during the December break please join me during your own practice if you also feel inspired to do so.

"Yoga aims for complete awareness in everything you do."
               
 "This practice of Yoga is to remove weeds from the body so that the garden can grow."

"Spiritual sadana begins when you go beyond what you consider to be your maximum effort."

"It is impossible to pinpoint where the body ends and the mind begins, and where the mind ends and the Self begins."

Namaste!
