August 21, 2014 B.K.S. Iyengar  |
A pillar of yoga, and considered one of a small group of yogis responsible for introducing yoga to the west in the 1960s, B.K.S. Iyengar passed away yesterday in India.
Iyengar introduced the world to "Iyengar Yoga" and authored the text "Light on Yoga" which is read, studied and referenced by so many even to this day. Iyengar yoga is a lineage that focuses heavily on proper alignment and the use of props to achieve proper alignment in a posture. B.K.S. Iyengar is credited with introducing props like yoga blocks, straps and blankets, which you see standard in most yoga classes today Iyengar's legacy lives on through yoga. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti. |

It can be a great challenge to make time for your mental/physical health and well-being. It is especially hard when it seems as though you may be sacrificing time with loved ones in order to do it.
However, when you make time to ensure that you are maintaining your mental and physical health, everyone around you can benefit from that effort to be healthy. Some immediate benefits may be that you're in a better mood or your energy is improved, or longer term benefits like increased longevity. Whatever the case, you might consider each effort to be an investment from which everyone can benefit. Shanti! |
