  • I've seen so many yogis performing successfully difficult asanas, you can see the efforts and strains on their muscles and faces. In Iyengar none at all, the muscles, the face are all passive as if sleeping. Amazing! there won't be another yogi like him after he's gone! believe you me. He's unique and a gift for the whole yoga world to have him.Let's revere him while he's still with us. Once he's gone, it'll be history...

  • I just read all of the comments here. Such a beautiful film... so much bickering in the commentary.

    Sure, asanas are only one limb of the eight limbs of yoga. My head is only 1/8 of my body but I think I still need it for the rest to funcion well.

    Iyengar is beautiful.

  • @cenolbaj The full set of asanas were developed long before Patanjali time. It was not just 'sitting'. Most people cannot sit in full lotus posture for days at a time. The systematic development of the body was necessary before pranayama could be practice. This is not 'acrobacy' but the basic requirement for extended sitting and concentration for pranic control. Advanced pranayama requires a healthy, strong body, healthy nervous system, and the ability to sit without discomfort for many many hrs

  • @annwe6 be water, teheh

  • Amazes me how he overcame all those health problems as a child to live such and influential life.A lot of good can come out of yoga.I am finding a lot of positive benifits for my body and mind.Thanks and peace.

  • Some comments are disturbing...hero worship? Just a man, just a man. I REALLY like his asanas, alignment and balance, bad ass!!! 

  • These moves would make every b-boy get jealous...

    ;)
