Yoga is an art, a way of life that can be learned by many different ways or paths. Literally, Yoga means integration, bringing together, Union of the body/mind complex with the universal spirit or god consciousness. Yoga is about cultivating a relaxed state of mind for Meditation. The practice of yoga postures (asana) and of breathing (Pranayama) helps us to come and exist in the present moment by developing watchfulness and stillness.

There are many different “styles” of Yoga: Ashtanga, Kundalini, Iyengar, Sivananda, Bikram, Anusara, the list goes on… These are just names either of the teacher who developed that approach or to describe the method. The teachers who work at Mokshanivas are trained in the Iyengar method but not restricted or limited by it.

In Hatha Yoga, the practitioner performs various postures to bring about strength and stability to the body and mind. Only through daily practice will the art of Yoga be kept alive, evolve, grow and become a way of life.

Yoga is an experiential science.


BKS Iyengar

Born in 1918, Mr. Iyengar is a great modern-day master who has, through his own intensive study and practice, developed a refined technique of practicing yoga in the most precise and detailed manner. According to his method, alignment has to be brought about in every pose. Thanks to the creation of yoga props (i.e. blanket, bricks and various other supports) and the diverse ways of performing the poses, Yoga is made available to all.

Shri BKS Iyengar will be 90 this year and he is still doing his practice.
