The death of B.K.S. Iyengar (Guruji) on August 20, 2014 is a great loss for our world. By devoting his life to spreading yoga throughout the world, he brought peace, calm and brotherhood to this tattered planet.

One of my favorite quotes by Guruji about yoga is:

“Each Asana has a beautiful shape, grace and elegance that bestows power and makes the practitioner as strong as a diamond, at the same time as soft as a flower.”

Thanks, Guruji, for guiding us in yoga. Your words guide us still.
