Our Lineage: The Authentic Teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar
Yoga is a living science, not just history. My practice is built on the direct transmission of knowledge from my teacher, Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar.
An unforgettable moment captured in the light of wisdom and joy with my Guruji, B.K.S. Iyengar. His timeless teachings continue to inspire and guide my path every single day.

About Our Lineage: The Teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar
This lineage is not about collecting certificates. It is about understanding the science of alignment exactly as Guruji developed it. When you train here, you access a methodology that has been stress-tested for decades, ensuring you do not waste time on incorrect postures or superficial movements.
When I say I teach the Iyengar method, I am not referring to a generic style of yoga. I am referring to a precise, anatomical approach that I studied directly under Guruji. In my classes, we do not guess; we align. We use props to access deep tissues and correct imbalances that standard exercise misses.
Why Lineage Matters
Many people teach yoga, but few understand the 'why' of an asana. Why use a belt? Why tilt the pelvis this way? This depth is what I absorbed during my years of close learning. The teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar are not meant to be diluted. They are meant to be applied with discipline.
The Scientific Approach
Yoga is a system of health. Whether you are in my Mandi House studio or joining online from elsewhere in Delhi, the corrections you receive are based on the same principles of precision that Guruji demanded. We work on the Sukshma Sharir (subtle body) by first perfecting the physical structure.
If you are serious about understanding your own body and want a practice that serves you for life, this is the path you need. We do not just perform poses; we study them, using props as intelligent tools to refine our internal state. This is how you build a body that lasts.
