Iyengar yoga is named after the late yoga master BKS Iyengar, who taught for more than 70 years in the tradition of Patanjali, the yoga sage and author of the Yoga Sutras. Iyengar’s teacher was T. Krishnamacharya, known as the grandfather of modern yoga.
BKS Iyengar’s 1966 book Light on Yoga (often called the ‘bible of yoga’) has been translated into many languages and sold millions of copies. The method is kept alive through Iyengar’s granddaughter Abhijata and son Prashant, who lead the global Iyengar yoga school and teach at the main Institute in Pune, India. There are thousands of certified teachers, and many associations, around the world.
Iyengar yoga is known for its emphasis on alignment, precision and gaining a depth of knowledge of the asanas (postures). Iyengar pioneered the use of yoga props including mats, blocks, bolsters, belts and bricks, to enable correct alignment and safe practice for people of all abilities.
