As a child, he suffered from tuberculosis, influenza, typhoid and malaria, and doctors predicted that he wouldn’t live past 20.īy the time he discovered yoga at 16, he has said, it took him six years to return to health. It was apt that the Master whose yoga excelled at making yoga postures accessible to every body, no matter what condition, himself had seen his body transformed by the practice. When he passed away this Wednesday morning, August 20 at the age of 95, he had become one of the most influential yoga masters of our generation, leaving behind a worldwide organization, yoga institutes on six continents, and thousands and thousands of some of the most highly trained yoga teachers in the world, and most significantly, a profound spiritual legacy. Iyengar made it his mission to bring yoga to the world, and what a mission it became. I took it for my health, and then I took it as a mission.”ī.K.S.
