The Yoga legend, B.K.S Iyengar

He was of course a legend in his life time ! Born in Kolar in Karnataka to a very traditional family he was apparently a sickly child and later at the advise of his brother in law began to practice yoga ...went to on to love a healthy and long life until he breathed his last at 95 years of age last year ! I have attended a couple of his Yoga classes where he stresses that Yoga has to be combined with other lifestyle practices and exercise routines to develop the required immunity and levels of energy ..He has been awarded many of the Padma awards in his life time !

I'm not that Lucky. I had to be content with his TV shows only. I well never miss a programme on TV by anybody besides BKS Iyengar.

Yopgacharya Iyengar has done an indeed tremendous and marvellous job of taking Yoga across the world. Right now, to celebrate his birth anniversary this month, B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga Institute in Pune, which is very close to our art gallery where I work in the mornings, is hosting a special camp for Yoga teachers from all over the world and there are nearabouts 1200 such teachers who are participating in it currently. We get to meet many of them regularly and the difference that the Great Acharya has made to their lives, shows in their each expression and gesture. A true ambassador of Indian tradition and culture.

B.K.S Iyengar is a phenomenon. He is the founder of the style known as Iyengar Yoga. He has written many books like Light on Yoga, Light on Pranayama to name a few. The Indian government has conferred Padma Vibhushan on B.K.S. Iyengar. He has been credited with popularizing yoga not only in India but in the western countries too.

I don't know about BKS lyengar. Here in north Baba Ram dev is popular one for yoga. No doubt all these are ambassador of yoga.
