"Yoga does not just change the
way we see things, it transforms
the person who sees them"

B.K.S. Iyengar

Iyengar Yoga

While yoga is often perceived in the West as merely a physical practice, Iyengar Yoga is much more than exercise. This unique method, developed by the master B.K.S. Iyengar, integrates physical, mental, and spiritual practice, aiming to create harmony between the body, mind, and spirit.

Through intellectual and spiritual exploration, Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar developed techniques that are accessible to all yoga practitioners. His method, built on the principles of “research-based experience” and “experience-based research,” is now known as Iyengar Yoga. These techniques have made the wisdom of the Yoga Sutras accessible to everyone.

B.K.S. Iyengar

Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar (Guruji) is the man who introduced yoga to the West in a profound and transformative way. Through constant practice and exploration, he uncovered the deep meaning of the Yoga Sutras and made this wisdom accessible to his students. His unique teaching style, known as “Iyengar Yoga,” is now taught by certified instructors around the globe.

Fáèq Biria

Fáèq Biria played a pivotal role in spreading Guruji’s teachings worldwide. Guruji entrusted him with the responsibility of teaching and training instructors in numerous countries, from Japan to Brazil, the United States to Singapore, and Israel to China. He left a profound impression in every place he visited.

Inga Zimbalista

Inga Zimbalista is a certified Senior Iyengar Yoga teacher (Level 3) who has been teaching Iyengar Yoga since 2000. Her journey into yoga began in her early 20s, in the late 1980s, in the former Soviet Union. It started by chance when she came across a thin booklet about yoga. In communist Russia, such books were rare and shared only among friends.
