London
B.K.S Iyengar (1918-2014) was the world’s most respected yoga teacher. He lived
for most of his life in Pune, India where he established the first Iyengar Yoga
Institute but he also travelled widely and was instrumental in bringing yoga to
the West. He wrote ‘Light on Yoga’ published almost 40 years ago, which remains
the definitive guide to the yoga asana (postures). Yoga was traditionally only
taught by a guru to a select few pupils but Iyengar firmly believed yoga was for
everyone and pioneered yoga teaching for all. To spread the teaching of yoga he
created a safe and structured approach to the teaching of yoga asana which has
since been established in approximately 40 countries worldwide.
