B.K.S. Iyengar 1938 newsreel Part 1 (SILENT)
Posted by Ray Gill
Filed under Yoga Videos
This is a film made by McPetruk in 1938 showing and shows Krishnamacharya demonstrating yoga. Here we see a young Iyengar (still alive, well, and doing yoga, BTW) doing advanced poses that constitute the advanced A & B astanga series. This is obviously well before Iyengar dropped the vinyasa aspect from his practice and rebranded it as “Iyengar Yoga”, putting greater emphasis on alignment. … yoga astanga ashtanga asana pranayama jois iyengar india health fitness …

Iyengar is the man
Thanks to Mr Iyengar for bringing yoga to the rest of the world and showing us how beautiful (vibrant, alive) we can be.
yoga una verdadera diciplina

Shri Aiyengar is great!! he’s not 90 years old and is teaching and giving workshops. So wonderful! God bless him!!
unglaublich!!!
oh my holly polly bolling eyeballs!!!!

No words to explain. Wow this is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing this. We are lucky that someone actually recorded this and preserved this through ages.
Thanks a million for posting this.

The purpose of Yoga is not exercise..
how old is this dude now?
He turned 90 in Dec. Still does 3 hours a day of practice plus teaching.
Not primarily, but it is very difficult to have a healthy mind without a healthy body. Primary series of Ashtanga is Yoga Chikitsa – yoga therapy.
I don’t think this is B.K.S. Iyengar..
Definitely Iyengar…long, long time ago though.
Fantastic
every gymnast can do this
no doubt they can. not to take away from gymnastics, yoga is a precise science that heels the body. i have known many people heel serious spinal cord injuries by practice of yoga. Iyengar yoga is one of those. many a dancer has gotten back to dancing with the help of yoga after serious accidents..
what does mean all those stupid
great….in healthy body, healthy is a mind
Amazing!
I intend to resume Yoga in 2010 after years of not doing it.
