Iyengar Yogashraya

• BKS Iyengars unique style of performing yoga
  involves various props. Open the doors of his
  institute in Mumbai and you will find yourself
  standing before a large hall with hooks on the
  walls and belts, bolsters, wooden bricks and
  backless chairs set aside in a neat, organized
  manner. Enter during class hours and youll see
  just how these simple props help the stiffest of
  his students become super flexible. Since the
  props are limited, so is the number of students.
  Most batches run full for years, so good luck
  trying to get a spot here. That being said, a
  little over a dozen Iyengar Yoga teachers are
  scattered throughout the city who conduct yoga
  classes at various venues.

The Yoga Institute

  simply named Yoga Institute was founded by one

  years before it would find a permanent base in
  Mumbais suburb of Santacruz in 1948. The
  institute is spread over one acre of land that is
  a green haven in the heart of a
  now-commercialized suburb. While the institute is
  sought after by people from all over the world,
  it continues to function without a lot of
  fanfare, quietly and with the dignity of a yogi.
  If the Institute is to be believed, some 1,000
  people visit the Yoga Institute every day.
