International Yoga Day was proposed by the Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi on the 27th of September 2014. Mr. Narendra Modi also proposed the date for International Yoga Day to be on 21 of June as it was the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, having special significance in many parts of the world.

On 21 June 2015, it was the first International Yoga Day that was observed all over the world. At Rajpath in New Delhi, 35,985 people including Narendra Modi and a large number of dignitaries from 84 nations performed yoga postures for 35 minutes. Ever since then, it was established in two Guinness world records.

With this, we would like to invite you to be a part of this International Yoga Day with running being incorporated into it.

BKS Iyengar Yogashala

BKSI Yogashala which is situated in Taman Desa Business Park, Off Old Klang Road, is a yoga centre that vibrates with warm positive energy. It is headed by Nanda Kumar, a Certified Iyengar Teacher who has been studying with Guruji BKS Iyengar and his children and whose immersion in the subject of yoga began in the early 1990s.

Nanda teaches at the centre with other certified teachers and his students. The centre set-up is typically Iyengar. It’s wall peppered with hooks affixed with ropes and harnesses, a sturdy wood railing; therein a corner sits the mighty ‘trestler’, setubandha and halasana benches, and along the shelves are all the other props neatly arranged, such as chairs, bolsters, belts, sandbags, wooden blocks, and planks, to help the students perform asanas in the best and correct way for them.

It opens daily, even on public holidays. The classes offered are varied and appeal to the wide range of students’ needs. Total beginners are encouraged to start off their yoga journey with a 10-Week Introductory Course, after which they would naturally assimilate into the Level 1 or General Classes.

Thereon the intensity rises with Level 2 and intensive Classes offered to more senior practitioners. Other specialty sessions include yoga for expectant mothers, those above 60s, and children. Besides, we have Restorative class which involves a series of postures, using the support of props, to allow for restfulness and complete relaxation.

Nanda’s plans for Iyengar Yoga does not stop there. He also aims to build the Iyengar community in Malaysia through the training of teachers who are so inclined. At present he is instructing Iyengar Teacher Trainees under the 2 year programme, and offering the 1 year Foundation programme in KL.
