“I do pray that my ending will be your beginning.” — B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Life

Today we remember Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar on his Punyatithi, marking the anniversary of his passing in Pune on 20 August 2014, at the age of 95.

A visionary teacher, he transformed the practice and understanding of yoga, sharing its depth, discipline, precision, and wisdom with the world.
His teachings continue to guide and inspire generations of practitioners.

We remember Guruji with gratitude, reverence, and love🙏🧡

I began my yoga experience whilst at university. My mum Lilian Biggs (also my teacher until her death in 2005), sent me a copy of ‘Light on Yoga’ by BKS Iyengar. She had just come across this form of yoga and was sure I would also be interested.

I learnt and practised from the book for two years before I was able to find a class to attend, but the seed was sown deep and I have continued with the practice which has become a part of who I am.
