IYENGAR YOGA
Iyengar Yoga is named after B.K.S Iyengar (1918-2014) who promoted yoga as a practice for all and who has been credited with disseminating yoga to the west. B.K.S Iyengar was a yoga practitioner, teacher, researcher, author, and philanthropist; a man respected the world over as evidenced by the many awards he received (e.g. honoured by Time Magazine in 2004 as one of the most influential people in the world). He was a prolific author, whose book, Light on Yoga, a seminal and enduring text on the art of yoga is an international best-seller and has been translated into 23 languages.
