Iyengar Yoga Switzerland
Yoga according to B.K.S. Iyengar
The Iyengar Yoga Switzerland Association (IYS) promotes Iyengar Yoga throughout Switzerland and ensures the quality of teaching between Lake Constance and Lake Geneva. IYS takes care of the training, further education and certification of teachers and regularly organizes conventions with renowned teachers from Germany and abroad. The association is thus continuing a tradition that began in the 1950s: The great violinist Yehudi Menuhin attended the yoga classes of B.K.S. Iyengar in India at the time and invited the master several times to his chalet in Gstaad so that B.K.S. Iyengar could teach and give lectures in the Bernese Oberland.
