    Certified Iyengar Yoga teachers know how to


    guide students of all ages and abilities. Deepseated understanding and experience of the yoga
    asanas (postures) allow instructors to teach
    appropriately to the group in front of them, whether
    they are younger, older, athletic, or have physical
    limitations.
    From the beginning, Iyengar Yoga develops strength,
    stamina, concentration, coordination, flexibility, and
    more. Using physical alignment as a starting point,
    Iyengar Yoga encourages the spread of intelligence
    throughout the body, the growth of self-awareness,
    and an experience of the asanas as a form of
    meditation in action.
    Ability to clearly demonstrate the postures. Sharp
    observation skills. Effective teaching points. These
    are the marks of a Certified Iyengar Yoga teacher.
    Classes are sequenced to promote health and
    skill in the body and stability in the mind.
    This total approach ensures that
    students progress from posture to
    posture, class to class, and year
    to year.
    Students in Iyengar Yoga
    begin with basic standing
    poses. In time, forward
    bends, back bends,twists,
    inversions, restorative
    poses and more are taught.
    As students mature, so does
    the practice. Teachers may use
    props such as blankets, blocks,
    belts, and wall ropes to help
    students benefit from the
    poses regardless of their
    physical condition or level of
    experience.

    Mr. Iyengars revolutionary use of yoga props is


    now ubiquitous in yoga of all styles.
    Yoga is unionthe union of mind, body, and
    spirit. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali lay out an
    eight-step path towards this spiritual fulfillment.
    Iyengar Yoga, firmly grounded in ancient tradition,
    guides modern students along this eight-fold
    path in a way thats practical, experiential, and
    intensely personal.
    In B.K.S. Iyengars unique teachings, the yoga
    asanas and Pranayama (the control of the
    breath) create the springboard that allows
    students to penetrate beyond the outer, physical
    layers and explore the inner layers of mind,
    energy, and spirit. The two quests of the
    physical and the spiritual are not separate but
    interdependent parts of a total approach to
    self-mastery and enlightened living.

    Called the Michelangelo of yoga and named one


    of Time magazines 100 most influential people,
    B.K.S. Iyengar is universally acknowledged as the
    worlds foremost yoga teacher.
    Yogacharya (yoga master) Iyengar brought yoga to
    the west with his pioneering teaching in the 60s
    and 70s, the beginning of todays explosive growth
    in yoga. His Light on Yoga, called the bible of
    yoga, has been the source book for generations of
    yoga students. His most recent books is Core of
    the Yoga Sutras.
    Now in his mid-90s, Mr. Iyengar continues his daily
    yoga practice at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial
    Yoga Institute (RIMYI) in Pune, India. There, too,
    his daughter Geeta S. Iyengar, his son Prashant S.
    Iyengar, and his granddaughter, Abhijata Iyengar,
    as well as a cadre of highly trained teachers carry
    on his work, teaching eager crowds of local and
    international students.
