Iyengar, focusing on the discipline and precision that defines his method. ## Photos and videos - ![A cherished memory with Guruji.

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. ## About Madhava R I am Madhava, and I have dedicated 45 years to the Iyengar method.
