I love my yoga teacher… but I start questioning just how much I love them after breath number 5 in Chair Pose. 😬

Sequence to relief knee pain
The sequence is based on a program developed by B.K.S. Iyengar for the relief of knee pain (as described in his book Yoga for Sports, pages 90–91).
The sequence was presented and practised by Julio Dieguez Papi, a martial artist as well as yoga practitioner and teacher, who is also the model in her drawing.

(Please note that these sequences are recommended to be done only under the supervision of a suitably qualified Iyengar yoga teacher after consultation with your medical practitioner).

Today we honour the 11th Punyatithi (anniversary of passing) of B.K.S. Iyengar.

We remember his extraordinary life, his unwavering dedication to yoga, and the way his teachings continue to guide and inspire us every day on and off the mat.

Guruji’s work made yoga accessible to all, regardless of age, ability, or background and laid the foundation for the vibrant Iyengar yoga community we share today.
