B. K. S. Iyengar

B.K.S. Iyengar was Krishnamacharya's younger brother-in-law, whom Iyengar credits with encouraging him to begin yoga practice. Iyengar Iyengar taught a vigorous method of yoga across the world until his spine was injured in a scooter accident. He then took what he learned in a different direction, focusing on alignment, props, making the practice more accessible for all. Iyengar wrote many books including Light on Yoga and Light on Pranayama.
