Today, I’m honored to share an illuminating conversation with Prashantji. In this episode, he reflects on how teaching in Mumbai exposed Guruji to Western students and how, had he remained in the South—where he could have taught in his mother tongue—the evolution of Iyengar Yoga might have taken a very different path.

He also offers insightful guidance on how we might approach a question many of us are asked: “What is Iyengar Yoga?”

Please enjoy this episode of On the Light.
