"When this body has been so magnificently and artistically created by God, it is only fitting that we should maintain it in good health and harmony by the most excellent and artistic science of yoga." – Geeta Iyengar
An artist in her own right, Geeta Iyengar revolutionized yoga practice for women around the world. As the daughter of B.K.S. Iyengar and a master teacher herself, she dedicated her life to exploring how yoga can address the unique physical and emotional needs of women at every stage of life. Her groundbreaking work on yoga during menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause opened new pathways for women to practice with both strength and sensitivity.
Through her teaching, writing, and the countless students she mentored at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India and around the world, Geetaji embodied the precision, devotion, and transformative power of yoga. Her legacy continues to guide practitioners toward greater self-understanding and inner harmony.
On her birth anniversary, we honor the woman who inspired millions of yogis around the world to find harmony within themselves. Happy birthday, Geetaji! 🙏
