Iyengar Yogashraya

BKS Iyengar, who is credited with introducing the West to yoga, has a unique style of performing yoga which involves various props.

Open the doors of his institute in Mumbai and you will find yourself standing before a large hall with hooks on the walls and belts, bolsters, wooden bricks and backless chairs set aside in a neat, organized manner.

Enter during class hours and you’ll see just how these simple props help the stiffest of his students become super flexible.

Since the props are limited, so is the number of students.

Most batches run full for years, so good luck trying to get a spot here.

That being said, a little over a dozen Iyengar Yoga teachers are scattered throughout the city who conduct yoga classes at various venues.
