"Yoga does not just change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees"
RHITU BARUA
Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher based in London
Iyengar Yoga is based on the teachings of BKS Iyengar, the author of the famed yoga treatise 'Light on Yoga'. Guruji, as he was lovingly called by his students, made significant innovations in this practice helping teachers who follow in his footsteps deal with a variety of body types and ailments. Teachers create new sequences for each class to build skill and understanding of the asanas from class to class.

"IT'S ABOUT CONSCIOUS MOVEMENT. OUR BODIES ARE ALL DIFFERENT"
Rhitu is a certified Iyengar yoga teacher. The Iyengar school of Yoga emphasises the knowledge of anatomy along with the meditative aspects of yoga.

Her students walk out of class with their back a little straighter feeling lighter in themselves. Simple, clear instructions to calm the mind while the body gives its utmost. Props are used as and when needed to improve alignment or experience a deeper sensation within the asana/pose.

Growing up in India, Yoga was always a part of her life. Kids would challenge each other to get into padmasana and various other contortionist poses; or see the elders do pranayama and try and imitate them. Fortunately in her early twenties, she was introduced to Iyengar yoga and her practice evolved and deepened. She learned the nuances of the science. It’s not just about making shapes or taking your leg over your head. Different people have different problems and requirements. What we need is conscious movement.
​
As Rhitu jokes, she keeps trying out various other forms of exercise, injuring herself and then coming back to yoga. Her own body with all its stiffness has been her best teacher.
