His tireless and selfless uninteruppted practice has been a guide and inspiration to thousands of students and yoga practioners from all countries and nationalaties.
BKS Iyengar, who by his own example and by his teaching methods invokes in the student the desire to become a sadhana;
Sadhana is a discipline undertaken in the pursuit of a goal. Abhyasa is repeated practice performed with observation and reflection. Kriya, or action, also implies perfect execution with study and investigation. Therefore, sadhana, abhyasa, and kriya all mean one and the same thing. A sadhaka, or practitioner, is one who skillfully applies…mind and intelligence in practice towards a spiritual goal.
