The Light of Guruji (1918-2014)
“King of Yogis,” named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people, B.K.S. Iyengar is universally acknowledged as the world’s greatest yoga teacher. Yogacharya (yoga master) Iyengar brought yoga to the west with his pioneering teaching in the 60s and 70s, the beginning of today’s explosive growth in yoga. His first book  Light on Yoga, called “the bible of yoga”, has been the source book for generations of yoga students.


What is Iyengar Yoga?
In practice Iyengar yoga focuses particularly on three aspects: correct body alignment allows the body to develop harmoniously in an anatomically correct way so that the student suffers no injury or pain when practicing correctly. As all bodies are different and people have different weaknesses and strengths, Mr. Iyengar has also developed the use of props to help the body into the correct positions required. Props are objects like wooden blocks, chairs, blankets and belts that help one adjust or support oneself in the different postures so that one can work in a range of motion that is safe and effective.

How Can Iyengar Yoga Benefit You?
B.K.S. Iyengar has systematized over 200 classical yoga Asanas and 14 different types of Pranayamas (with variations of many of them) from the simple to the incredibly difficult. These have been structured and categorized to allow a beginner to progress surely and safely from basic postures to the more advanced. Through regular, progressive practice, one will earn flexibility, strength and sensitivity in mind, body, and spirit.
