One of my teachers, Manouso Manos says that when he is asked, “Who was your first Iyengar teacher?” he replies “Iyengar.” Not too many people can say that these days. But, I can. Though my experience was not as intimate as Manouso’s and the other senior teachers of his period. I learned, not from the Iyengar’s presence, but from his writing. |
