60 Years of Light on Yoga
Published internationally in 1966, Light on Yoga by B.K.S. Iyengar has guided generations of practitioners around the world.
Often described as the “bible of yoga”, Light on Yoga brought clarity, precision and depth to the practice of asana, making yoga accessible around the world, while preserving its profound tradition.
To mark this milestone, IY(UK) is launching a special series celebrating the enduring legacy of this remarkable book.
Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing conversations with senior Iyengar Yoga teachers, personal stories, historical insights, and reflections on how Light on Yoga continues to shape practice today.
Whether you’ve studied the book for decades or are opening it for the very first time, we hope this series will inspire you to return to its pages with fresh eyes.
As B.K.S. Iyengar wrote:
“Yoga is a light, which once lit, will never dim.”
Here’s to sixty years of Light on Yoga and to the generations of practitioners it continues to inspire.
