“Body thy Shrine, Yoga thy Light” B.K.S. Iyengar

Iyengar Yoga

Iyengar Yoga is based on the teachings of living Yoga master BKS Iyengar, known affectionately as Guruji, and the author of Light on Yoga. Geeta and Prashant, daughter and son of Guruji, are also great teachers and authors on yoga. The Iyengar family's teachings are deeply grounded in the ancient yoga tradition. Gurujis's intense practice and over 70 years of teaching have produced significant innovations. Among the most noteworthy are:

  • emphasis on standing poses to develop strength, stability, stamina and concentration
  • use of props to facilitate learning
  • sequencing of postures to bring clarity and maturity to the practice
  • deep knowledge of Yoga used to ease various ailments and stress
