The Fourth Niyama - Studying and discovering the Self with Iyengar Yoga

'Yoga is the journey of the Self, through the Self, to the Self,' says Bhagavat Gita. Studying and discovering the Self is the essential part of Yoga practice. Yogacharya BKS Iyengar, who was the greatest teacher of Yoga in modern times, was continuously studying and examining his physical, physiological, and mental body during his Yoga practice. He gained all his knowledge about Yoga through his direct experience, and encouraged his students to explore the asanas (Yoga postures) firsthand to gain a deeper understanding of their effects on the body and mind. BKS Iyengar made Yoga accessible to people worldwide and helped many, regardless of their physical condition, to benefit from it. His distinct style of practice was called 'Iyengar Yoga' by his students to emphasize that Iyengar was a teacher they follow and study from. In this podcast we explore the vast subject of Iyengar Yoga with Senior Iyengar Yoga teachers, who are direct disciples of BKS Iyengar. Here they reflect on their Yoga journeys, share their lifelong lessons, and recount moments of joy and growth when studying under the guidance of their Guru.  In this podcast trailer you'd also learn what is niyama and why this podcast is called 'The Fourth Niyama'.
