Abstract:

In October 1989, long-time yoga student, John Friend (b. 1959) travelled to India to study with yoga masters. First, he went to Pune for a one-month intensive postural yoga programme at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute, founded by a world-famous yoga proponent, B. K. S. Iyengar (b. 1918). Postural yoga(De Michelis 2005, Singleton 2010) refers to modern biomechanical systems of yoga which are based on sequences of asana or postures that are, through pranayama or ‘breathing exercises’, synchronized with the breath. Following Friend’s training in Iyengar Yoga, he travelled to Ganeshpuri, India where he met Chidvilasananda (b. 1954), the current guru of Siddha Yoga, at the Gurudev Siddha Peeth ashram. Siddha Yoga is a modern soteriological yoga system based on ideas and practices primarily derived from tantra. The encounter profoundly transformed Friend, and Chidvilasananda initiated him into Siddha Yoga (Williamson forthcoming).

Abstract:

The article discusses concepts of the Divine in the works of the modern yoga school founder, B.K.S. Iyengar. The center of interest is the basic accents put by Iyengar on various aspects of the Divine. The author gives the comparative analysis of the ideas about the Divine of Iyengar and founders of neo-vedanta and the world-famous reformers of Hinduism, such as Ram Mohan Rai, Swami Dayananda, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Swami Vivekananda. To disclose the specifics of views on the problems of the search for and knowledge of God, the presentation of proofs of the existence of God, the relationship between God and the soul the methods of historic-philosophical reconstruction and comparative analysis were used. The author shows that it is impossible to determine whether Iyengar's teaching belongs to a particular school of Vedanta. Iyengar’s beliefs share the views of the Advaita Vedanta and Vishishta Advaita philosophers. The conclusion that Iyengar philosophical views are an uncritical mixing of the ideas of Western and Eastern religious and philosophical teachings and continue the Neo-Vedanta tradition is done.

Abstract:

The object of this research is the cultural dialogue between the East and the West. The subject of this research is the methods and forms of conducting such dialogue in the works of the prominent figure, the founder of one of the modern yoga schools Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja Iyengar. The goal of this article lies in examination of the various aspects of interaction between B. K. S. Iyengar  and the representatives of Western culture at certain stages of his life. For achieving the set goal, the author establishes the conditions for conducting this dialogue, principles of effective interaction, and method for overcoming miscommunication of the parties. Hermeneutic analysis is carried out on the works of the world famous yoga teacher. The traditional text analysis, content analysis and comparative analysis are used for collecting the information on the topic. B. K. S. Iyengar is known first and foremost as the founder of one the yoga schools and popularizer of Hatha yoga. However, his social role is poorly studies, although deserves deliberate attention, considering the world trends for healthy life style, the integral part of which is yoga. The author aims to fill this gap and prove the uniqueness of Iyengar’s activity in the context of dialogue between the East and the West, as it encompasses all stages corresponding to different approaches towards conducing the cultural dialogue. The study reveals the contradictions in Iyengar's position on the relationship between the Western and Indian cultures, and indicates his contribution to the revival of the traditions of Ancient India.

Abstract:

In order to study the possible effects of Yoga on cognitive function in multiple sclerosis (MS), we have set up six-month-long classes that meet for 90 minutes once a week. The format for the class follows the Iyengar approach to Hatha-Yoga, which utilizes "props" such as chairs, blankets, or straps that aid the less supple/strong body in achieving the Yoga poses. In particular, people with MS can suffer from balance problems, limb weakness,numbness, and fatigue. Iyengar Yoga thus lends itself particularly well to formulating a class for students with MS. This paper describes the actual Yoga intervention for people with MS and discusses some of the problems in experimental design and logistics encountered in setting up the study.

Abstract:

This randomised trial compared the effects of Brain Wave Vibration (BWV) training, which involves rhythmic yoga-like meditative exercises, with Iyengar yoga and Mindfulness. Iyengar provided a contrast for the physical components and mindfulness for the “mental” components of BWV. 35 healthy adults completed 10 75-minute classes of BWV, Iyengar, or Mindfulness over five weeks. Participants were assessed at pre- and postintervention for mood, sleep, mindfulness, absorption, health, memory, and salivary cortisol. Better overall mood and vitality followed both BWV and Iyengar training, while the BWV group alone had improved depression and sleep latency. Mindfulness produced a comparatively greater increase in absorption. All interventions improved stress and mindfulness, while no changes occurred in health, memory, or salivary cortisol. In conclusion, increased well-being followed training in all three practices, increased absorption was specific to Mindfulness, while BWV was unique in its benefits to depression and sleep latency, warranting further research.

Abstract:

Low back pain is a significant public health problem that has reached epidemic proportions. It places a substantial burden on the workforce and the health care system.1It has proven very difficult to treat, and it is one of the most commonly reported reasons for the use of complementary and alternative medicine.2 Many different methods of Yoga exist and each has its own technique for preventing and treating disease. This article describes the rationale and method for the therapeutic application of Iyengar Yoga for chronic low back pain. Preliminary results are also presented from a pilot study evaluating the efficacy of a 16-week program of Iyengar Yoga therapy in persons with non-specific chronic low back pain.

Abstract:

Yoga, an ancient philosophy and practice undertaken as a path towards self-realisation, was originally written for men, by men living in the East. However, a large and growing number of people in the West now practice some form of yoga, with more than 80% of practitioners being women. Since the 1980s, there has been a ‘feminisation’ of yoga in the West, as female teachers and practitioners tailor its practice to meet the specific needs of women. The practice of yoga has also changed to meet the needs of the modern Western practitioner more generally, such that the primary reasons for practicing yoga are to improve physical well-being and to cope with stress. Nonetheless, for some practitioners, yoga continues to offer philosophical and spiritual direction. The aim of this thesis is to critically examine mid-aged women’s experiences of Iyengar yoga. Focusing on a select group of 35 women living in New South Wales, Australia, the study ultimately seeks to determine whether a process of self-transformation arises from their yoga practice. Bourdieu’s concept of habitus provides a very useful context for describing the study participants’ shared disposition and values. The women’s demographic characteristics, for example, help explain why they were attracted to and maintained a regular yoga practice. An aspect of their habitus is also distinctly feminine, incorporating values of connectedness and holism. The women’s experiences were examined to consider why they were practicing yoga. In an exploration of the processes that emerged from the women’s experiences of Iyengar yoga, a paradox arose concerning the nature of ‘the Self’ that is depicted by yoga philosophy, and ‘the self’ that is portrayed in modern societies. To examine how ideals from the West and the East have come together in the modern practice of yoga, the women’s experiences are compared here with Giddens’ ‘reflexive project of the self’ (a process of self-actualisation) and the broader principles of classical yoga (a process of self-realisation). Western practices, like Giddens’ project, emphasise processes of ‘becoming’: a means to perpetually progress and improve oneself. Eastern practices, however, give priority to states of ‘being’, via the cultivation of awareness to attain experiences of constancy and stillness within. The women’s stories and experiences are integral to understanding the processes of self-transformation that arise from their yoga practice. Their experiences demonstrate that although initially reasons for practicing yoga identify primarily with Giddens’ reflexive project (‘becoming’), through the practice of yoga their experiences become embodied ('being'). The thesis explores the evolving interplay between ‘being’ and ‘becoming’ that ensues from experiences of Iyengar yoga, and explains how and why these processes of self-transformation impact on the lives of the women interviewed.

Abstract:

In addition to the efforts of the yoga enthusiasts detailed in the previous chapter, two highly popular Indian teachers changed the face of yoga by teaching in adult education venues, Yogini Sunita (1932-1970) and B.K.S. Iyengar (1918-2011). Both of these teachers attracted thousands of students to their classes. Yogini Sunita was based at the Birmingham Athletics Institute during the 1960s. While B.K.S. Iyengar’s was championed under the Inner London Educational Authority, gaining a monopoly on yoga classes in these publicly-funded inner London venues from 1969 to around 1980. This chapter focuses on the secular interests and pressures of that the structures of the educational institutes placed upon the yoga being taught and how these systematized and transformed the nature of yoga teaching and ‘teacher training.’
