Now And Zen Yoga

This is a continuation of the 1938 film of a young BKS Iyengar practicing yoga.  Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja Iyengar, December 14, 1918, in India, is the founder of Iyengar Yoga. He is considered one of the foremost yoga teachers in the world and has been practicing and teaching yoga for more than 60 years. He has written several books on yoga practice and yogic philosophy, including ”Light on Yoga,” “Light on Pranayama,” ”Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali”, and “Light on Life”.

This is from the same 1938 film that showed Krishnamacharya demonstrating yoga. This film shows Iyengar doing advanced poses that constitute the advanced A& B astanga series. This was filmed before Iyengar dropped the vinyasa aspect from his practice and moved towards a greater emphasis on alignment.
