Iyengar Interview

[@jpprakash456]

I got tears when he said "I am from a dire poverty and who is there to guide a poor man, an orphan? naturally I have to consult myself", beautiful talk and great language.

[@Gieszkanne]

He was very honest and a down to earth man. Without any "holy man" attitude.

[@jackfrostcm108]

Very surprised by his honesty and humbleness. Assumed he would be like the other "gurus" 😄

[@pratik7590]

This was posted in 2012.. He was 93 years old then.. and look at the way he speaks.. just awesome.. inspiration..

[@Gieszkanne]

Yes and his teacher Krishnamacharya even get 101 so they must do something right! ; )

[@lovernotfighter]

He looks more like 63, to me.

[@NaaneVinu]

@@lovernotfighter see his ear grown so much. For 63 years it wouldn't be so much. So I feel he might have been around or more than 85+

[@DharmendraRaiMindMap]

80 I know coz I'm in the video

[@theeskatelife]

Doesn't mean it was recorded in 2012 haha

[@chinaman1]

I love listening to old Indians talk. They speak with such rigor, affirmation and cynicism that it's so enjoyable to listen to. They always have wonderful stories to tell.

[@pwrighter]

Iyengar is anything but cynical. Perhaps you mistake his humour for that or you don't understand what the word means.

[@psm4727]

U bloody don't know who is this ?

[@bullkathos4358]

Things Money Can’t Buy Time. Happiness. Inner Peace. Integrity. Love. Character. Manners. Health. Respect. Morals. Trust. Patience. Class. Common sense. Dignity. Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other. Mark Twain Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people. Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses and avoids.

[@bethhayes1]

I love this! I have done yoga since the 70's. Started when I was 16. I have never been able to do the jumping part of this yoga. 1st time I've heard where this jumping part came from.

[@DharmendraRaiMindMap]

OMG , I just realised , I m in this video !!! The guy at the end with the cap ! Soooooo happy ! Wow ! Great to be in the same video as Guruji one of the greatest ppl ever !

[@DharmendraRaiMindMap]

@@Luwangli A true guru in a world of fakes ! Really worked hard at yoga everyday of his life till his last day !

[@aritina8379]

Wow! I love this man!! The wisdom is palpable! The sense of humor is just… beautiful!! ❤️

[@alcovefib]

Such a great man, humbleness bordering with self-deprecation. A great teacher never becomes complacent, never stops learning and developing, and in the end he encourages his students to develop the system further. So many parallels with Carl Rogers...

[@ramgollakota1225]

This is a great interview. Interviewer asked the right questions at the right time and BKR Iyengar gave very sharp responses.

[@RamPrakash-bw1hp]

Great to see how he predicts the question middle way and answers.

[@Itsdivinedivine]

Ram Prakash wisdom comprehends the present and the critical questions past forth.

[@YogaconMarinaBuedo]

So thankful for his teachings and wisdom!

[@observer6307]

He lived 95 years even he was a abnormal kid that’s all power of yoga 🧘‍♂️

[@akhilamp6451]

Mental health has been added to WHO's definition of health only recently but the idea of a holistic health existed centuries ago and had been repeatedly said in Yoga practices. I can't believe it gets so little attention in this era but it speaks from centuries of experience and growth❤️

[@rahuljoshi8209]

extremely good. I am really speechless. Guruji's contribution in the field of yoga would last for coming at least four five centuries. hats off..salute..

[@musiceighties]

He is so wise, a real enjoyable interview. Thanks

[@ThirdEyeAwake]

Oh this is so beautiful!!! I wish I had been able to see him in person before he left the body.

[@yoshidakezi]

Amazing human being. Thank you for this interview

[@rakeshmehra6321]

I have never seen someone say such level of mature answers.. a ture Guru 🙏🙏

[@goodbarbenie5477]

Master Iyengar had some marvelous sayings. In this case he would say, "what the is point of man training to be a racehorse, when later on his life he ends up being a cart horse"... Hahaa...

[@ghaneshrana357]

Wow ....what a interview. So pleased to hear from this Man in such a beautiful way about Yoga. Proud to be an Indian

[@elizabethmccarthy2426]

[@kevziro]

mish yensen what is difference between good yoga and fake yoga?

[@MishYensen]

You don't look good .. yet feel amazing, energized, peaceful, spritely. For me iyengar's explanations help me understand the case that carries my sole.💛

[@dododou1]

What a great man he was. He was not only talented in his specially but also so good philosophy.

[@Mohanabalasubramanian]

Feel heaven while watching this.. listening his words..

[@frankiii4587]

Really wonderful discussion here, when Iyengar speaks I listen closely and often multiple times.

[@markdonovan1540]

The legend of Yoga explains so simply and eloquently. From 16:23 to 16:53 he provides a clear answer to a great question that everyone should ask themselves.

[@jdilip555]

More over Yoga literally means Union.. UNION With INFINITE DIVINE FIELD GOD OR WHATEVER YOU LABEL What is the consequence of union? Obviously free from Mind and Body.. Free from Stress Disease Depression etc

[@rpbhagato]

This guy knows how to take interview .Far far better than our so called famous journalists.

[@rakesh198575]

[@jeanneamato8278]

This was so meaningful and gave me hope for myself. 🙏

[@graedot]

Wow. I've read Iyengar; done some of the practice. This was AMAZING!!! I had no clue I would actually like the man.

[@Hello.Yellow.Mellow]

So priveleged to see Gurujee sharing such knowledge graciously. Appreciate how he reminds us about yoga being univwrsal, sarva bhava, when the interviewer is trying to divide yoga in east vs west.

[@ashishyogawellness8117]

[@yasheshratnakar9750]

One of the JEWEL of India, who had such DEEP ANALYSIS of YOGA

[@7177YT]

Wow, 90+ years and arguing for the necessity of progress in Yoga as well as in science. Moreover It's so evident listening to him that he calls it as he sees it, and his judgement is clear in all instances. Very impressive.

I watched the Doc last year, This is the complete Iyengar interview? can have some more parts of then?

[@MotoVikz]

How come only when Guruji talks there's subtitles and not when the interviewer talks? Is it taken for granted that one would automatically understand the American (what sounds to be) accent universally and you would only need subtitles for what is not??

[@rosselliot8971]

vikram murthy Yes.

[@MotoVikz]

Ross Elliot well... time to change.

[@rosselliot8971]

@@MotoVikz Not really. I've seen Scottish and Irish people subtitled because although they were speaking English their heavy accents made them less than easy to understand. Sometimes a misunderstanding in one word creates the wrong impression. Subtitles can go a long way to removing any doubt about what is being said. Not everything is a conspiracy to demean others.

[@MotoVikz]

Ross Elliot It's a matter of perspective and your assumption that other accents are unclear and American accent isn't is also one, which is what my point is. Nothing to do with conspiracy.

[@rosselliot8971]

@@MotoVikz Indeed it is about perspective. For some people, some accents are unclear and subtitles are helpful. If you don't need the help then don't read the subtitles. Other people may find them useful. Each to their own. Live and let live.

I'm not sure what he's trying to say at 06:00? I believe he's giving an example of unhealthy conciousness when he says "suppose you are libertainian" (according to subtitles). Is it libertarian or maybe libertine (like Marquis de Sade)?

[@bunnuram]

Libertine

[@dancewomyn1]

Simple, anger destroys and he's putting words of wisdom which is constructive. Anger is another form of overflow (uncontrolled ) internal energy which destroys the friendly (positive) environmental bond. While this man's goal is completely different, he's trying to serve, teach, putting efforts for the beneficial of humans and society.

Being bound to our desks is kind of a bummer. Thankfully, this routine targets the area that suffers the most. Yep, we’re talking about the hips. Yoga instructor Adee leads a slow and steady sequence that includes poses to target your hip flexors and relieve tension, like a yoga squat and Frog Pose. Her soothing voice helps you feel at ease - a welcome reminder for the work-hard, play-hard set.
