Short Introducation to Abhijata Iyengar:

Abhijata Iyengar practised Iyengar Yoga as a child, but she did not immediately know she would become a teacher. She achieved a Bachelor of Science in Zoology in 2003, and a Masters in Bioinformatics in 2005, and it was only when she had to decide whether to study for a PHD that her path changed, and she started teaching Iyengar Yoga. Having been taught by her grandfather B.K.S Iyengar and her aunt Geeta Iyengar, this was a natural progression for her. However, unlike her aunt and uncle, she has a young family to juggle, which makes her teaching style very approachable.

She now is a senior teacher at the RIMIYI in Pune, with her uncle Prashant. She travels the world teaching internationally, continuing the traditions of her family. In response to a question about the most important thing she learnt from her grandfather, Abhi said:  “I vividly remember he said ‘life is as dynamic as the River Amazon. As that river flows, life flows with that energy, hence your practice and your living has to be so dynamic’.”
