Iyengar Yog Sadhana

IYENGAR YOG SADHANA took root back in 1978-79 when my father told Guruji that our family would be shifting to a new Bungalow in Kothrud, Pune. At that time, both my parents were students of Guruji at RIMYI, Model Colony. To our pleasant surprise, Guruji suggested to my father the exciting idea of starting Iyengar Yoga Classes near our new Kothrud residence, as he could see it becoming a pivotal area of Pune in the future. My parents and me decided to take up this idea and thus the classes commenced in 1978. We began by shifting around our furniture to make space for the yoga sessions. Soon, after room space became more demanding, we shifted our classes to a newly built spacious hall, in 1994. With the foresight of further growth in our mind, we extended the hall with a magic column and window in 1998. During the early 1990s. I had also started teaching at various other places as in NDA, H.A and others. Like Guruji, Geetaji and Prashant sir also encouraged me to teach from time to time, and conduct sessions where they themselves were teaching before. Having learnt and practiced Yoga under the tutelage of Guruji BKS Iyengar and his daughter Geeta Tai, I forged a strong bonding with Yogashastra and its true meaning. Guruji’s prediction amazingly proved to be on point. Kothrud bloomed into a fast-developing section of the city. There was a pressing need for a fully developed Yoga Institute as opposed to the small studio we were managing. My wife Shivangi very thankfully joined us on our mission to start building a Yoga Institute. Around 2015, by God’s Grace and Guruji’s blessings, we achieved a major milestone by shifting camp to an ample, well-equipped hall where we could comfortably uphold the practice of yoga. I feel blessed and grateful for the support of my well-wishers, Guruji, Geetaji, Sunitaji and Abhijata notable among them, Iyengar Yog Sadhana is popular among Indians and foreigners alike, with more and more people moving passionately towards advance studies. I am very fortunate to have Five Star Rankings all over.
