In 1934, destiny called\u00a0B.K.S. Iyengar<\/strong>.
\nHis\u00a0brother-in-law,\u00a0Shriman Tirumalai Krishnamacharya<\/strong>, invited him to come over
\nto\u00a0<\/strong>his\u00a0Yoga school\u00a0<\/strong>in\u00a0Mysore,\u00a0<\/strong>to\u00a0initiate\u00a0<\/strong>him to Yoga and\u00a0help<\/strong>\u00a0improve\u00a0<\/strong>his\u00a0health.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From this day on,\u00a0B.K.S. Iyengar dedicated\u00a0<\/strong>the rest of\u00a0his life\u00a0<\/strong>to\u00a0yoga.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Later,\u00a0T. Krishnamacharya\u00a0<\/strong>sent him to\u00a0Pune,\u00a0<\/strong>near\u00a0Bombay\u00a0<\/strong>to be a\u00a0yoga teacher.<\/strong>
\nB.K.S.\u00a0Iyengar<\/strong>\u00a0arrived<\/strong>\u00a0there alone;\u00a0he\u00a0<\/strong>had no\u00a0family there,<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>he did not know anyone, he had no\u00a0landmarks\u2026<\/strong>
\nhis only luggage\u00a0<\/strong>was his strict\u00a0knowledge\u00a0<\/strong>of\u00a0asanas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He established himself in\u00a0Pune,\u00a0<\/strong>where his\u00a0work\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0generosity<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>radiated for about\u00a080 years<\/strong> and reached the entire world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Yoga\u00a0institute<\/strong>\u00a0he\u00a0founded there is\u00a0still active<\/strong>. I went there in 2016.<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>People from all over the world go there, as if to\u00a0capture\u00a0his energy<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>still palpable\u00a0in\u00a0every part\u00a0of this place.<\/p>\n

I had the\u00a0great\u00a0privilege<\/strong>\u00a0to follow the\u00a0teaching\u00a0<\/strong>of his granddaughter.
\nThis for me is an\u00a0unforgettable experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iyengar Yoga<\/strong>\u00a0is based on the thorough\u00a0practice\u00a0<\/strong>of\u00a0Asanas\u00a0<\/strong>(yoga postures)
\nand\u00a0Pranayama\u00a0<\/strong>(yogic breathing).<\/p>\n

After learning\u00a0more than\u00a0200\u00a0<\/strong>classical\u00a0Asanas\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a014\u00a0<\/strong>different types of\u00a0Pranayama,<\/strong>
\nB.K.S. Iyengar<\/strong>\u00a0condensed\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0organized\u00a0<\/strong>them in order of\u00a0increasing difficulty,<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>to enable\u00a0beginners\u00a0<\/strong>to progress\u00a0<\/strong>gradually according to their\u00a0level\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0capacity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAsana is achieving the perfect firmness of the body, steadiness of the intellect<\/em>
\nand benevolence of the spirit.
\nEach Asana must fulfil five functions:<\/em>
\nthe conative, cognitive, mental, intellectual and spiritual functions.
\nWhen they all merge into Asana, a state of pure joy reaches simultaneously
\nevery cell of the body\u00a0and<\/u>\u00a0the mind.
\nBody, mind and soul are united. \u00bb<\/strong><\/em>
