- Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja Iyengar (1918 - 2014), better known as B.K.S. Iyengar, was the founder of the style of yoga known as "Iyengar Yoga" and was considered one of the foremost yoga teachers in the world. He was the author of many books on yoga practice and philosophy including Light on Yoga,Light on Pranayama, Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and Light on Life. Iyengar was one of the earliest students of Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, who is often referred to as "the father of modern yoga". He has been credited with popularizing yoga, first in India and then around the world. The Indian government awarded Iyengar the Padma Shri in 1991, the Padma Bhushan in 2002 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2014. In 2004, Iyengar was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine.
The very thing this man can talk clearly during the asanas is legendary
Es increible ciertamente
we can all achieve that
We must in order to teach properly.
Im shure this guy would also be able breakdancing
he has a creepy aura. bad engergie
I started practicing yoga at. 14..15..I was lucky to meet this teacher in London..1985..ohh..I am as peacefull..and flexible..ohh..NO DRUGS...NONE..AND..68 YEARS YOUNG
Did you meet him in person? Wow 😍
Sir great
he has a creepy aura. bad engergie
Happy to hear from you ☺️
No drugs? So no sugar. Sugar was an illegal drug a few years back. Now look at all the disease's tied to it. It should still be illegal.
Simply put: a lot of westerners don’t realize this guy was THE GODFATHER of bringing Yogic practice to the West. He’s a legend and as respected as they come!
Yogananda came to the west living in the USA for 31years, many years before Iyengar, leading the way with his Kriya Yoga and meditation for Self Realization, though Iyengar brought his practice and teachings based on physical alignment and expression of energy from the inside to the outside. Love practicing Iyengar! Love practicing Kriya Yoga,too!
I gave up practicing 1 year ago beacuse of knee arthritis, low cartilage in my kneecap. I have experiened a mental and physical decline. I have decided to return to yoga. Been practicing 5 days ago. My approach and intention is for self parience and to remain mindful of my knee. Im already starting to feel the difference in both my body and mind. I am so grateful 🙏
I may be no one to you, but I support you. I have been on the very edge of "achieving" a daily practice this past week, and you (and also this film, I mean, holy crap... amazing) have inspired me.
Your knee will rot with you in the grave. Think deeply.
breathing deeply , regularly , can regenerate many cells .....keep up your practices .
I had the same issue! And gave up as well! But went into Kundalini Yoga and then move to Pranayama Yoga and QiQong, they are both very beneficial and it will be less demanding on knee. 🙏
We are thankful
This was the real Yoga and not all
The fancy girls showing off in Instagram ! I promise that when I’ll Graduate to teach I’ll offer my class also for Free For those that can’t afford because here in Europe Yoga is becoming like a big industry with lots of ego a narcissism, I don’t like that.
How's that going bro?
I had the good fortune to learn from him during 3 years ...1997-2000. Amazing teacher and a great yogi
1976 and still talking about modern technologies, and losing the resonance of the spine and how people are facing scoliosis and slip discs etc.
We should rethink, where we people of today's are falling...
YOGA is a lifestyle! 🙏🙏🙏🙏and he was the INSTITUTE...
So many genetically gifted and healthy people are destroying themselves with drugs, partying and alcohol. And this average man went from being deathly ill, to ultimate health and freedom. Because of his will power and tremendous effort. Behold the ultimate truth what human spirit is capable of achieving😮
He did yoga till 96years ...
His is incredibly strong without looking incredibly strong... 😮
He was 58 during this video was taken. How flexibility was his body, amazing n inspiration.
Are you sure??
definitely a great goal in life- to be the oldest in "the gym". I was even unsure if he was still practising today? He would be 105 now. Sadly, he passed away in his 96th..
Yoga is not about the body
I should have found this video 40 years ago…. 😂 I’m 56 now… too late for me
What. That is me in 3 years.
Respected bks sir...u r forgotten hero......becoz u didn't sell yoga
Not forgotten for me. 🙏
Who are marketing they don't know yoga
You are telling a true dear friend that he did not sell the yoga but we yoga lover always miss him and will remember their guidance.
Well said
Amazed to see this video of Guruji !!! We used to attend children's batch at the main centre in Pune. Every Sunday. Sometime During 1983 /84 . Mostly his daughter Geeta M'am would take the classes and every now and then Guruji would take the class. So many memories of taking my physically challenged brother too
I love this 🙏🏻
Потрясающий учитель! Великолепная у него аура! Чувствуется прямая, честная, целеустремленная, глубокая натура! Таких и раньше то были единицы, а сейчас, наверное, и вовсе нет! Никакого самолюбования, никакого позерства, никакого напыщенного нравоучительства! Только великая благодарность проявленному миру, своему телу, как его части, и огромный труд! Большое спасибо за возможность видеть Учителя! 😍💓💓💓🙏
ха-ха-ха!!!
@@zolotozemnoe8711а причина смеха, какая?
OK this guy is so much more about the training and inner strength than all those yoga-pants instagram girls
He was a living legend among yoga practitioners of India, he never sold yoga for profit. Greatly respected among the masses and those who knew him.
Pls give first respect he is not your brother he is legend

Now you know him....be happy for it friend....
U should be
Good time started.
Don't be spread his message
No need to say like that. You can follow yoga for peace of mind, health ,
BKS Iyengar is 58 years old in this video. Amazing!
Вполне выглядит на свой возраст.
Вполне выглядит на свой возраст.
Выглядит хорошо, но свой возраст
Looks older than that. Something was missing 🤔
Amazing finding BKS Iyengar video.
I saw his book Light on Yoga in Waldenbooks in North Star Mall when I was 15 in 1967. When I saw the many photos of yoga poses in it, I spent probably an hour deciding why I might need to buy such a book other than to simply look at the pictures.
I did buy the book. Then spent years studying each one to figure out which ones I could start doing.
There were no yoga classes then in San Antonio TX. I managed to do lotus, shoulder stand, head stand, plough, kneeling backbend, crane, but all the hard pretzel looking ones - no.
It was an amazing thing for me to experience. It brought me to sitting meditation. I should have never stopped practicing the asanas.
But I did stop around age 43.
Little did I know how handy that flexibility would be at 71.
Whenever I am too proud of myself, too vain with what I know or do , I'll remember to comeback to this video and be humbled 🙏🏼
indeed
We should impart his knowledge widely. This needs to be passed on to the next generation.
Love Iyengar. Have read and used all of his books. Such a powerful teacher. You can hear the conviction in his voice of how deeply and fully he offers this gift of his work and demonstration to the world.
I love your teaching.
I’ve been doing iyengar yoga for 35 years , he is truely inspirational . I had the privilege of his teachings in 1992 - amazing
Wow
@Zane I am from India.. my wife has been struggling for pain issues - could you tell me. right institute in India for this yoga practice
@@rajeevjadaun6035 The very institute he established in Pune, Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute.
@@rajeevjadaun6035reduce salt...
One of the best no-nonsense representatives of the Hindu civilisation. He exudes the aura of a legendary expert.
Extraordinary... and he made a calm explanation when undertaking such incredible stretches
.. With no problem...
B.K.S's impeccable yoga look like light rippling across water's skin. his light body dancing with his physical body turns to water (which reminds me of Bruce Lee's martial arts teachings)
This guy just BLEW MY MIND!!! I was like look at this out-of-shape old guy talking then BAM, he made me feel like a Fat out of shape unhealthy 35-year-old with his amazing body control. I have no idea how or where I can even begin to start to implement these movements I can't do at all yet.
Um passo de cada vez, começa praticar Gênesis 1:29-30
What possibilities the human body has! Just wow!
Еще раз поняла, что мы не умеем владеть своим телом и содержать его без болезней. Знание предков! Спасибо за напоминание.
Мне кажется не всем дано так гнуться)
ooh, chto tut takogo? eto prosto obkurivanie mozga eta vsja yoga, obychnaja zarjadka kuda poleznej
Голову содержите в чистоте и порядке, тогда и болеть перестанете. А с дурной головой никакие асаны не помогут.
This is truly the classic graceful art of yoga.
Thank you B.K.S.Iyengar
for showing us the door to open.
Такие видосики - на вес золота были в 80-90х.. Великий ЧЕЛОВЕЧИЩЩЕ!!! Махатма...

He was born in 1918 and this video is from 1975 so he was 57 years old in this video.
I can imagine what does it mean living in 20th century and see all changes in the world.
He is great! 🙏🏼
He passed away at the age of 96 in 2014 - yes he was great
@@pareshsomla474 God BleSs 😘
The energy flow explaination alone is gold! Wonderful man
every yoga teacher in america can just quit and show this video! lol. A LIFETIME of work right here
This man is amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing this footage. It is very inspiring as well as educational. This is absolutely priceless!! Aloha from Hawaii!!!
Sir Iyengar smiles only at the end of his last Asana and continues this smile till the end of the video. The last 5 minutes of the video is when he smiles for the first time in the duration. Epic. Excellent. My pranam _/\_
Мне нравится этот Человек! Нет фиксации на своих несовершенствах,но есть воля и практика пути к совершенству! Боже ,пошли мне побольше таких примеров в жизни!!!
Спасибо Вам , дорогой йог!
Muito impressionante, e ainda mais impressionante num momento de mundo ocidental em que corpos só "aparentam" ser saudáveis se forem extremamente musculosos. Daí você clica no vídeo e no começo pensa "ué, o que esse senhor pode fazer?" e logo depois está pensando "Caramba, quanta energia e flexibilidade numa pessoa só".
Amei Ariel, o melhor comentário🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm pretty sure I just pulled a muscle just watching him. I need to get back into yoga. Used to do classes in my twenties and it was pretty awesome
Какой колоссальный труд над своим телом. Трудно выразить словами, эмоции полученные от просмотра. Благодарю и хочу такого учителя 🙏
просто эластичные связки или длинные, не помню точно, есть же такое отклонение от среднестатистической нормы, типа как болезнь. любая женщина-змея из цирка такое сможет сделать
@@DeputatDay сколько лет своей жизни ты прозанимался йогой чтобы говорить что это болезнь, а не результат многолетней работы над своим телом?
7,5 лет. потом посмотрел в цирке шоу и понял, что мне интереснее физическая сила и выносливость, а не заведение рук за спину, поза летящей ласточки и т.д.. а ты сколько лет посвятил этому?@@FedorShtemenko
The very essence of yoga. So simple and direct yet so deep and powerful. Great gratitude for Gurudji. May the world understand the deeper message of yoga...
I had the great fortune to meet him and study with him in 2004 in Pune India. He was an incredible human being.
So impressed with this man, and the Indian culture. Humbling.
Bru this dude probably been doing yoga his whole life and probably didn’t even warm up before the video. Woah. So many gems he’s dropping.
Seriously I used to do yoga and pilates….. I stopped for a while…. This is so hard to do now. Even easy simple yoga is difficult. This is amazing.
Isn’t it amazing that there probably is as much (if not more) wisdom in our past than in our future. It’s just a matter of discovering, recognizing and appreciating it. This video is another great example.
He is the master. He has given to us a gift, that perhaps most of us cannot obtain, yet he has shown us the infinite potential and possibilities of our own bodies. His message is immortal. I am so very thankful and grateful that you have created this channel for all of us us to see. If I can never actually do these poses he displays, I know that I am capable. Thank you. Thank you. Namaste.
The best surgeon there is without using a scapel
I am surprised that 35 people hit dislike. My salute to Iyengkar for unusual talent in yoga
The disliked cause after they did this their heads have turned back
They probably were expecting some yoga with Adrianne's stretches videos.
I need another life to get anywhere near to this. Greatest respect!!
9:40 I do martial arts and kickboxing and can't do this fluid transition with losing balance. This Yoga Master is amazing.

Thank you very much sir..... Whenever I feel disgusted, sick, disappointed, end feeling I just remember you and yoga. These are the strengths to me.
When Guru Iyengar speaks, I listen intently. Thank You for posting.
This is very important to this generation yoga thanks 🙏
Absolutamente admirable lo que el maestro hacia con su cuerpo... Ni qué decir de su dominio mental, para mantener su disciplina a lo largo de su vida, de tal modo que pudiera hacer semejantes proezas.
In just watching this is a meditation itself, this yoga of many moons ago, I imagine these schools of riches who found this common being that encased this oneness of freedom and also the physical health of thee eternal internal within. Amazing.....
This flexibility at his age is quite impressive. Kudos to yoga and to this gentleman.
you should see him in his younger days, he was ripped like an amateur bodybuilder
I just checked that out. This man's strength is indeed outstanding! @@ChaudharyAakarsh
What s his name

Those are the days no body building but inner strength.
His body is shaped by his yoga very interesting! He would be considered to be in terrible shape aesthetically by today’s standards until you watch him perform, quite impressive. He was.
@@darylhill9400 apparently he was pushing 60 here
Прекрасно,мастер высшего класса .Уважение и почёт.
This was so inspiring to so someone who doesn’t have a IG physique talk as if he were sitting while doing poses that I wonder if I’ll even achieve in this lifetime. And his conviction in what he has experienced is just as powerful as when he was alive. It conveys fully ! Muchhhhhhh respect
Yoga 🧘♂️🧘♂️🧘♂️🧘♂️🧘♂️🧘♂️yoga. Great BKS sir. U deserve for Bharat ratna.
I love you forever my teacher and inspiration 😢💙💚🙏
Our body is a medium to know the consciousness. Thanks a lot for the video
A wonderful teacher, thank you for making yoga asanas accessible to all. 🙏🏻💜
flow like water, smooth but solid core, everything guided by the core, amazing master, thank you
Amazing video. His explanations are priceless and he speaks English so well even in 1970’s, which not many gurus can do even now. He truly acknowledges the purpose of body and mind. Really wish i can take time out to practice all this. Thanks for sharing. Should learn atleast 2 or 3 and practice them continuesly.
English is just a language
Thanks from the bottom of my heart to BFY for this comprehensive video of Guruji 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I will be always grateful to my Guru .u hv gifted me with treasure.
Thank you very much! Sir B.K.S Iyengar is the one who teaches me true value of Yoga.
Western media doesn't highlight it because he is INDIAN
he is true Indian treasure
Huh? We LOVE Indians here in England! I have a Hindu Temple on the road I live on and I am actually visiting tomorrow. This was shown on British Television too!

My guru i learnt from him when my husband was posted in Pune in loahgoan Air force station .I use to go with my husband's station commander S. Krishnaswamy and with his wife Herveen (ex.chief of . IAF India ).I consider my self lucky.
Great! I just read his "The tree of yoga". I would recommend, very powerful
My first true teacher. So grateful to have found this teaching and to have touched his feet.
🌺🐝 Вот что значит красота на самом деле ...! Потрясающе ...! Какая воля...! Он поставил шах и мат нам всем ...! Вот что значит индиец...! Это Бог и "шайтан" одновременно...! Восторг...! Нет слов...! Спасибо !

🌊 Yoga helps still the waves of thought, leading to a silent and calm mind, allowing one to experience the self without any color, form, or shape.
🌟 To conquer the inner oscillation of the self, one must connect with the concrete body, which is the temple or vehicle of the Spirit.
🌅 Through yoga, BKS Iyengar believes that one can achieve ultimate freedom by releasing tension in both the body and mind, allowing for a state of eternal presence and true liberation.
🌟 The practice of yoga is not just about words, but about experiencing and witnessing the effects firsthand.
🧠 "Ultimate freedom is when each and every part of my body and intelligence works without obstruction."
👑 Sheersh-asana, or head balance, is known as the king of all asanas as it oxidizes the whole brain cells.
🌟 Achieving ultimate freedom and wisdom through yoga postures brings clarity, creativity, and a connection to the divine.
🧘♂ "The self has no pleasures, the self has no pain, so true meditation should bring enlightenment, elimination, creativity, activity, fullness, and aloneness."
Old is gold...just love it
BKS was a force and helped thousands. It is important to remember that his approach to postures is radical and that not just anyone can do many of them. His most famous book is "Light on Yoga." He spent two weeks in the hospital recovering from the photoshoot. I am an asana teacher and have been active in Yoga since 1971. I simply caution those who may be seeing BSK for the first time not to think that the shapes he goes into are all healthy or appropriate for many. Be careful with Iyengar Yoga!!!
😱 ...👌
He developed a whole system of supports and props to make it safe.... Regarding this video, 'don't try this at home' of course. But the system of Iyengar yoga is, in my experience, the safest and most progressive I've come across by a long way.
അന്നത്തെ വീഡിയോ കാണിച്ചതിന് നന്ദി🙏
I love his philosophies and yoga teachings. My yoga teacher certification is through his lineage!
Flawless man.. A true yogi... Lots of respect to Indian yoga.. Indian history of being healthy which ruined by Britishers in the era of colonialism. Thank you sir for demonstration so unique postures of yoga.
My brother studied with Iyengar in 73 in Pune. Used to teach when younger but still practices in his 70s.
Es admirable lo flexible es es y esta disciplina es maravillosa
Thank you very much sir for posting such precious video which is really useful for this generation and we should also pass to next generation so they can understand the true concept/values of yoga, it’s postures. BKS Iyengar is such a legendary person.Do yoga and lead a healthy life.
This is so Amazing...
I am following Iyengar yoga...but got the the chace to see Guruji first time
Pranam 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am speechless after seeing all postures...Guruji..pl shower Blessings on us
I have to pull out my head stand chair I bought from Amazon. I just came out of meditation and this video popped up on my Screen. Thank you Sir. RIP🌹
Just a breeze of fresh air to hear his voice. 🙏🏽
He has felt what Yoga truely is ❤
LA PRIMERA vez que veo QUE ALGUIEN ENSEÑA BIEN EL YOGA. SU RESPIRACION ES UNA GRAN GUIA, por que sin la respiracion el cuerpo se leciona.
We are fortunate to have such Maharshi teaching, propagating Yoga for entire world.
We forever thankful for your teachings , it's just not amazing but words can't describe what a great gift you have left us with this yoga knowledge 🙏, forever grateful,Dhanyavad , jai hind🙏🙏
Sono onorata di aver studiato appreso e insegnato lo Yoga di Iyengar. God BleSs RIP ♡

@@ceapy ya I will try in future
Present I am very weak in health
@@saideepreddy9922 Yes Yoga is amazing for health. BKS Iyengar suffered from Tuberculosis and could not even touch his knees when he started. Health will definitely improve if you practice Yoga 👍
@@ceapy ya I will try in future
Unfortunately no-one is here near my native place to teach yoga
That's why I still in a thought to do instead of doing it
I tried by online teaching from videos but I have faced few problems that's I thought I have to learn from a teacher
Very interesting, fabulous documentary on Yoga by Shri BKS Iyengar
This film was apparently made in 1976 which is when I started using his book Light on Yoga. The video helps a lot to demonstrate what it's like to get into some of those poses. I wish I had seen it 40+ years ago.
Sooner than never. Atleast I now know this great guru
I have to practice every day - yoga is the best addiction
My deep respect to BKS guruji. Thanks for sharing.
Epic demonstration of Hatha
For weeks I've been practicing a 15-minute pranayama routine. I'm such a modern Westerner, that I can't even sit on a thin pad Criss-Cross with my legs without discomfort. I'm considered fit and healthy, yet my knees couldn't touch the floor at all...if they did, it would tear something inside me painfully. After a couple of weeks, I'm able to sit for 15 minutes, while admittedly uncomfortable, not nearly as much so already. My knees still cannot touch the floor, but my legs are more relaxed and my behind hurts less after sitting for more than 10 minutes. As small as this improvement is, it gives me great hope for being able to meditate comfortably soon! I'm 47, and have always considered myself strong, but tightly wound. Not very flexible. Far far beyond anything I'm capable of doing- this man makes look easy. I'm intrigued. Hope I pursue this with diligence...
Namaste Mr Iyengar, still living on as you guided me in my early practice with books like "Yoga the Iyengar Way" and still inspire me today 🙏 you epitomise so many gracious qualities ❣️
