"You must purge yourself before finding faults in others. When you see a mistake in somebody else, try to find if you are making the same mistake. This is the way to take judgment and to turn it into improvement. Do not look at others' bodies with envy or with superiority. All people are born with different constitutions. Never compare with others. Each one's capacities are a function of his or her internal strength. Know your capacities and continually improve upon them."

BKS Iyengar, Light on Life 🙏

A big thank you to Ayesha Devi for the wonderful workshop last Friday 🙏

~ From Strength to Subtlety
Ayesha's workshop explored ease in Chaturanga and supported postures that move us beyond simply ‘doing’ the asana.

We observed Mulabandha Kriya in inversions, explored Svasayam - breathing techniques, cleansing Nadi Kriyas, and moved through silent chanting at each chakra.

A beautiful reminder that yoga is as much about awareness as it is about action.

Patañjali Jayanti 2025

From Pune this week, the community at RIMYI gathered to honour Sage Patañjali — the source and symbol of Yoga’s unbroken lineage. Offerings were made to the sage and to Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar, whose work continues to illuminate the path.

Prashant invited reflection on the horizon of our practice, asking us to consider what it means to move beyond the polarities of praise and blame, gain and loss, valour and villainy.

A reminder that Yoga calls us to find the unbroken thread of practice amid seemingly opposed phenomena — and to rest in that which neither rises nor falls.

---------------------

Thank you to one of our students, currently in Pune, for sharing the above content and wonderful pictures with us 🙏
