No doubt B. K. S IYENGAR "Guruji" is The greatest yoga teacher India has ever produced. Thanks Guruji for everything 🙏
People who think he’s rude or arrogant, he really isn’t. We need to understand that he belongs to a generation where Indian masterji’s used to be little strict on the kids coz the kids were usually naughty. He just imbibes that teaching manner. More attention has to be given to what he’s teaching than how is he teaching
You are perfectly RIGHT. Unfortunately I cannot understand his accent ( just few words) you could write to me the ratio of is point about the belly' s breathing ? I can only understand the other guys.Thanks a lot 🙏
Thats amazing how Iyengar guru explains the diaphragm breathing and tension associated with it...He was a treasure dove of knowledge. I wish he had lived for another 100 years.
Agreed. But yoga practitioner or not, everyone's lifespan is governed by their "aayushya karma". Even Dr Geeta (his daughter) had to go at only 74. He will continue his work in the next life.
This was hilarious (in a good way) and enlightening! I never imagined that a demonstration on yoga by one of its greatest contemporary practitioners could be so interesting - but he does it! Amazing!
Thanks for this. . I can't believe I've never seen this person. The best thing about this video (aside of the information) is this guy's genuine nature. The world needs more non-slickery presentations.
@@jeevane5264 please contact with a certified isha yoga teacher in your area, learning yoga through books is not advised and it is mostly bad for your health
Well the best way to understand Normally we have to Breathe through chest (Natural instinct). In the west teach us Belly breathing , this is mirror of kapalbhati pranayama from patanjali. This is only a exercises not a breathing technique for living life.
I have seen many CZcams videos, all foreigners do yoga whatever they like,but videos of Indian or a hindu they do yoga exactly what yoga should be,peple may differentiate,
Cosmic Lotus well now people have to filter their observations , edit and lie to satisfy this critical world now ? If Just saying what you observe is racist then most of you westerners are very good lier just to prove yourself .
explorehunter we need to accept truth of what we see, we see so many videos where westerners made yoga a physical exercise, for great and fit body , while yoga in actual is realising we are more than material / physical body . Reaching beyond the physical dimensions. But I am not saying there r no Indians doing the same and aping the western concept of yoga today . You see quite many of Indians doing it too. It’s like yoga went to the west and came back in a new form without its original spiritual essence /purpose . And this purely is my observation not physical/cultural bias. I don’t know if talking your mind / truth is also racism today but I am not ready to lie or close my eyes to truth to prove myself to a pretentious world .
@@preethishetty6179 Still trying to establish that going beyond physical realms in yoga is only for people of particular geographical area is nonsensical and absurd. Any human being can do it if they mastered it, be it Indian, European, Asian, Arabian or Russian. All are human beings and spirituality is not a monopoly for India! Also it is injudicious and incongruous to think that yoga lost its spirituality because it went to the west and came back! It would have been the same even if it stayed in India itself, Indians are prone to corruption like anywhere else in the world.
What is modern yoga and ancient yoga. If he is of modern yoga why is he referring to the original scriptures ? I wish things are right and the right things are realized ...
If he would have done it nowadays human rights would have cried sore. But this is what a real teacher should do. It is unfortunate that we have forced the any teaching into profession from father son/daughter gurukul system. My pranaam
Mostly our gurus sold and selling Yog to west... most probable reason seems to be money... I don’t think if they only wanted to teach, then they have plenty of students here in India as well.. that too those who understand Sanskrit and Bhartiya culture.... still they go out of their way to teach foreigners... money is important even after attaining this level of consciousness.. strange. Keep spreading ancient Bhartiya knowledge in west (rather than in India) and keep gaining their appreciation.
Man. My mind is completely blown. I've been doing the damn belly breathing for years now! 1:213:11 "Not one original yoga text mentions abdominal breathing"
It is not bad. But Iyengar's reason in moving ribs to open diaphragm in better control of breathing. Belly is not 'incorrect'. It is just not present on Iyengar tradition. Thats all. It's Iyengar convention, right?)
@@Seryogaji As he points out, not a single Yogic text mentions belly breathing. It's not incorrect, that is right, however is it only a small stepping stone for chest breathers to move in the right direction.www.yogajournal.com/practice/your-best-breath
@@Seryogaji In this presentation, BKS Iyengar says clearly: belly breathing is not in any original (yoga) text and says that pranayama from the belly will create acidity. 4.58.
If I heard it right, for the second question, he says during normal breathing the entire body breathes. And for the initial question he said it's the lungs that breathe and abdomen will not breathe. Just wondering if I have not understood properly..
In normal situation body needs oxygen so it is the requirements of body not only lungs, so it was a stimulated action by brain. While pranayam, is the breathing exercise for the lungs in main focus.
Okay, at first I thought his words about breathing from the brain were nonsense. But I tried an experiment and breathed with the sternum collapsed vs. lifted, and when it was collapsed something felt really different inside the head.
One of the greatest masters of the world says, Make your belly your best friend. Find out who? Observe an infant breathing. You will come to know what is correct form of breathing.. Observe an animal, a dog or any.. I'm sorry that I don't get what Mr. Iyengar is trying to say, I respect him though...
What he is trying to say is that only while doing Pranayama you have to breath exclusively through your chest area without bloating your abdomen. Rest all the time your whole body may participate in breathing.
Kapalbhati is the best example of abdominal breathing..Most of the people think diaphgramatic is abdominal breathing. And in yoga use of intercostal is given much importance.
@@suprememystic the best example of diaphragmatic breathing is deep breathing where you expand your expand qnd contract your abdomen with inhalation and exhalation
Truly gem...even i was doing abdominal movement during pranayam as taught by my yoga teacher and saw in different books...even i do get headache with pranayam as mentioned by guruji...i still didnt get the soln as explained by him...can someone pls explain? Will headache be gone if i use breathing with lungs?
Si seria lo mejor poder traducirlo se ve que trat de como hacer las respiraciones abriendo las costillas atrabes del diafragma mas que de la respiracion abdominal en si
Iyengar Yoga is what I call constipated yoga. Slow, relaxed breathing into the belly using the diaphragm is SO helpful for relaxation, and helps treat constipation and acid reflux. He taught the opposite. What a pity.

Breath. Explore. Relax. Move your ribs, not just belly , to move diaphragm
