Iyengar Yoga

Yoga as taught by the Iyengars emphasises the integration of the body, mind and spirit. The Iyengar approach to yoga is firmly based on the traditional eight limbs of yoga as expounded by Patajali in his classic treatise, The Yoga Sutras. Iyengar yoga pays particular attention to precise body alignment, development of strength, stamina, flexibility, and balance, as well as concentration and meditation.

Invocation to Patanjali

Trying to learn the Invocation to Patanjali?

OM OM OM
Yogena Chittasya padena vacham
Malam shariasya ca vaidyakena
Yopa karot tam pravaram muninam
Patanjalim pranjalir anato shmi
Abahu-purusakaram
Shankha-chakrasi-dharinham
Sahasra-shirasham svetam
Pranamami Patanjalim
Hari Om

Let us bow before the noblest of sages Patanjali,
who gave yoga for serenity and sanctity of mind,
grammar for clarity and purity 9 November, 2011h.
Let us prostrate before Patanjali, an incarnation of Adisesa,
whose upper body has a human form,
whose arms hold a conch and a disc, and
who is crowned by a thousand-headed cobra.
