With apologies to all my massage therapist friends, here's what Mr. Iyengar says about massage: 

"You should not mis massage with yoga. If you do some good yoga, then take a massage, just see what will happen to you the next day.  You will be half dead!  Massage is relaxing but it is forced relaxation, coming from an external manipulation.  Yoga is extension - extensions giving freedom for the body to relax by itself. This is natural relaxation."
