About Iyengar Yoga
A renowned and venerated figure, B.K.S. Iyengar is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost authorities in the art and subject of Yoga. A tireless practitioner and gracious teacher, his staggering body and lifetime of work have literally touched all corners of the yoga world.
The yoga that bears his name is not, however, a style or a system of yoga. Iyengar yoga is classic Ashtanga Yoga as passed down through the centuries from Patanjali to the present age. Mr. Iyengar has not tried to distance and/or distinguish himself with titles and labels. Rather, through detailed instruction, specific timing, and an array of strategic sequencings of the postures, Iyengar has developed a precise and comprehensive methodology that gives individual practitioners a clear, direct penetration into the deep heart of classic, time-tested yoga.
B.K.S. Iyengar still lives and practices yoga full-time at his family's home and studio in Pune, India.
