Yoganusasanam - Iyengar Yoga Delhi

Natarajasana is not just about balance, it is a practice of precision, stability, and awareness.

A timeless glimpse from Guruji, B.K.S. Iyengar, guiding us through the intelligence of the pose.

Watch. Observe. Practise.
Let the asana teach you. 🙏

There was a time when Dr. Pooja Sethi couldn't fully straighten her knee after a serious accident and multiple fractures. Surgery was even recommended.

With consistent Iyengar Yoga practice, patience, and proper guidance, she gradually regained the ability to straighten her knee,
something that once felt impossible.

Healing doesn't always happen overnight. Sometimes, it happens one practice at a time.
Hear her story in her own words🤍

“…Backbends are like a third eye.  The third eye means strength and power within to face the unseen light when it falls on you or me.

Mandalasana teaches us to move with awareness, maintaining balance and stability. Every turn, every action, and every breath becomes an opportunity to observe and evolve.

Viparita Dandasana invites us to open the body with intelligence, creating space, strength, and fearlessness without losing precision.

Together, these asanas remind us that yoga is not about reaching a shape, but about refining our observation and understanding with every practice.

On this Guru Purnima, we offer our deepest gratitude to Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar, whose wisdom continues to inspire generations of practitioners. The greatest tribute to a guru is sincere and dedicated practice.

Pranam to Guruji, Happy Guru Purnima🙏

In Iyengar yoga, the "intelligent flow of the body" is not a rapid, athletic transition between poses, but rather a subtle, unbroken, and conscious flow of awareness within and between postures. It emphasizes using alignment, precision, and props to cultivate deep, internal awareness, transforming asana from mere exercise into a "moving meditation"

Conquest of body is conquest of matter.
So if you have not conquered the matter,
how can you conquer the spirit?
And you say I can't do it, so naturally that means you cannot conquer the spirit because you have not conquered the matter.
Without matter you cannot go higher.
