The Iyengar Lineage and Teaching Method
These images represent the roots of my practice. I teach exactly what I learned from my teacher, Dr. B.K.S. Iyengar, focusing on the discipline and precision that defines his method.
A cherished memory with Guruji. His presence was as powerful as his teaching, and his guidance shaped my entire approach to yoga.
Standing beside Guruji during an event. Learning from him was not just about asana, but about discipline, respect, and a deep commitment to the subject of yoga.
A portrait of my Guruji, Dr. B.K.S. Iyengar. His work brought the precision of yoga to the world, and I aim to preserve that integrity in my online classes.
Another photograph of Guruji. His intense focus and deep knowledge are what I strive to channel when I guide my students.
About The Iyengar Lineage
When you join my classes, you are not following a fitness trend. You are learning the same sequences and adjustments that Guruji taught me over decades. This is why I insist on strict alignment and correct prop usage; it is the only way to build real immunity and strength without injury.
The Iyengar method is not about movement for the sake of sweating. It is about understanding the body through structural alignment. My Guruji, Dr. B.K.S. Iyengar, taught us that props like ropes, chairs, and wooden bricks are not crutches. They are essential tools to access deeper layers of the body and breath.
In my online sessions, I do not tolerate sloppy practice. If a posture requires a brick for spine elongation, we use the brick. If you are struggling with a seated posture, I will tell you to adjust your hips or use a blanket. This attention to detail is the hallmark of the Iyengar school. It ensures that students of all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners, can work safely.
We do not rush through asanas. We hold them to build internal awareness and stability. My classes are for those who want to study yoga as a science, not as a quick exercise routine. If you are looking for shortcuts, this is not the right place. If you are looking to learn, I am here.
