Dear Supporters,

This project was on hold for a number of reasons. We'd love to hear your feedback on the revised petition.

As the community was in a dilemma about which pose to name after our beloved Guruji we decided to relaunch both! 

1. Dvi Pāda Viparīta Dandāsana as SUNDARARĀJĀSANA. This was everybody's favourite as it can be practised independently or with support even at beginner level! 

2. Uttāna Padma Mayūrāsana as IYENGARĀSANA For advanced practitioners who can claim to have reached the same level of practice of our beloved Guruji! 

Please let's start introducing the names in our practice and teaching so that these may, with time, be incorporated in the Classical Yoga Tradition. 

We do not intend to substitute the Classical name of the āsana with Guruji's, we wish to add Guruji's name to the classical name as an offering of gratitude. In the same manner as Paschimottanāsana can also be called Ugrāsana and Brahmacharyāsana.

Let's share our thoughts on the revised petition and let's share the petition!

Namaskar

🙏

Iyengar Yoga Community
