Sailing with BKS Iyengar
by Christine Rondeau
In 1984, the first Iyengar yoga conference was held in California and for the first time, North Americans were exposed to his teachings and expertise. Following the conference, Mr. Iyengar spent a few days In Victoria, Vancouver and Edmonton.
During his stay in Victoria, he went on a trip on a sailboat and although he was on “holiday” and the setting wasn’t that practical you can see in these wonderful photos, that yoga on a boat can be done. Next time you are on a sailboat, don’t let it stop you.
