Patanjala Yoga Kendra was established in 1993 on the banks of the
Ganges in
Rishikesh, the world capital of Yoga. Iyengar Yoga, as propounded by Guruji B.K.S.Iyengar, is taught here. Guruji's method is firmly based on the ancient indian tradition of Yoga as defined in the Yoga Sutras of
Patanjali.
Iyengar Yoga teaches strength and stamina, flexibility and balance, concentration and meditation. Physical awareness, as well as emotional and spiritual growth are focused on. Students are taught to extend consciousness to each part of their bodies, and they are instructed to experience a concentrated focus on the moment. Gradually this concentrated focus called Pratyahara becomes an integral part of daily life.
