Photos from the Iyengar Institute in Pune, India
B.K.S. Iyengar started this Institute in 1975. While he has retired from public teaching, his daughter Geeta and son Prashant now teach classes to thousands of students each year, and all three of them practice daily during the open practice sessions on the main floor. I took these photos when I studied at the Institute in the Fall of 2005.
