In the Light of Light on Yoga

Join Raya Uma Datta for a special live demonstration inspired by Light on Yoga — the seminal text by B.K.S. Iyengar that introduced yoga to the West.

Created in honour of the book’s 60th anniversary year, this unique evening invites audiences to experience yoga as a living art brought to life on stage. Through demonstration and reflection, Raya reveals the intelligence and depth of the practice, offering insight into how and why we practice. The evening will conclude with a conversation with Raya.

Who This Is For
Whether you are new to yoga, a long-time practitioner, or simply curious, you are warmly invited. Students of all yoga traditions, friends and family welcome.
