Whether you are in my Jayanagar shala or at the Ramanagara nature centre, the focus remains on understanding your own alignment, not on performing for the camera. My classes are structured to guide you step-by-step, regardless of your current experience level. ### The Essence of Iyengar Yoga Iyengar Yoga is a discipline of precision. My method, passed down directly from Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar, prioritizes the architectural integrity of the body. We do not rush. We observe, we adjust, and we breathe. When you join a session, you are engaging with a systematic approach that builds strength and flexibility over time through rigorous, intelligent practice. ### Why Props Matter I am often called the Chairmaster, a title I accept with a smile. Using chairs, wall ropes, and wooden bricks allows practitioners of all ages and capabilities to hold asanas longer. This duration is where the real work happens. It allows the mind to settle and the nervous system to calm, transforming a basic stretch into a profound exploration of the body. ### Where We Practice My teaching happens across different spaces to support different needs: * **Prashant Yogashraya, Jayanagar:** Our city-based hub for regular classes and weekend intensives. * **Ramanagara Centre:** A dedicated space for residential retreats, where the quiet of the nature surroundings complements the intensity of the practice. * **Online & International:** I continue to guide students globally, ensuring the lineage remains accessible regardless of geography. Whether you join us for a week-long residential retreat in Ramanagara or a weekend workshop in Bangalore, come with curiosity. Bring your willingness to work hard, and I will guide the rest. ## About Prashant Yogashraya I am Arunji, and I have dedicated over 50 years to living and teaching the Iyengar yoga tradition. My home is Prashant Yogashraya in Bangalore, where I guide students through the same alignment-focused practice my Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar shared with me.
