Our teacher, B.K.S Iyengar, has reinstated Yoga to its present glory. As a teacher he was strict, he demanded total presence, as well as the very best that his students could give. In addition, BKS Iyengar’s knowledge of the body is unparalleled and the help that he gives to the ailing is amazing to see, he’s always discovering ever new things to help patients. His ingeniousness is often overlooked, but BKS Iyengar’s discovery of using props for alignment, relaxation and healing purposes is in itself a blessing for mankind.

The Centre is dedicated to the teachings of Yogacharya BKS Iyengar, who is recognized as one of the world's foremost authorities on Hatha Yoga. At the Centre, we aim to create an inspiring environment for learning and practicing, as well as to provide a meeting point for the community to exchange teachings and ideas, thus maintaining Guruji's work vibrant and pure. In giving particular attention towards the usage of props, the Centre has succeeded in incorporating every prop of the Iyengar method, giving a limitless and diverse opportunity for each practitioner to discover a deeper understanding of Hatha Yoga.

In Hatha Yoga, the body is used as a tool to modify consciousness and to still the mind of disturbances. Iyengar discovered that unless alignment was given full and detailed attention, the desired result could not be achieved. Thus, the teachings involve precise physical postures and breathing techniques, leading to harmony in both body and mind.

"Peace in the body brings poise to the mind."
BKS Iyengar
