IYENGAR LINEAGE

Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar the legendary yogacharya leaves behind a legacy, which breathed new life into yoga and made it popular all over the world. Born in a poor Iyengar family in Bellur, through out his childhood he struggled with malaria, tuberculosis, typhoid, fever and malnutrition. A major turning point in his life awaked him in 1934 when he moved to Mysore and began to practice yoga under the tutelage of his brother-In-law Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya and the rest as they say is history.

Dr. Geeta S. Iyengar, a woman who took the initiative to change the lives of female species. It is rightly said the one who suffers pain can realize the pain of others and it happened so in the case of Geetaji. She began her journey with yoga at the age of three and made her first public yoga appearance at seven at a demonstration that her father was giving. At the age of 8, she became seriously ill and was not expected to survive. Seeing the medicines weren’t helping, her father decided to try yoga with her. She recovered and continued with her practice of yoga.

Shri Prashant S. Iyengar, is son of legendary Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar (our guru ji). He is presently the Director of Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI). He is also an accomplished violinist. He has deep and profound understanding of Bhartiya darshans and Indian scriptures, which he has delineated through various books authored by him, and videos posted on YouTube channel “IyengarYoga Official”. He has used his creativity to develop his own lexicon with a view to convey the right understanding of concepts of Yog.

Abhijata Iyengar is the senior most teacher in RIMYI who started her practice at the age of 16 under the guidance of Guruji, Prashantji and Geetaji. While her family’s influence is evident in her instruction, she has developed her own teaching style that evinces poise, maturity, and humor. She travelled with Guruji BKS Iyengar to conventions in Russia and China and also accompanied Geeta Ji to international conventions in England, Australia and the USA.According to her “Yoga should make you a JOYOUS human being.”
