Great Grandmaster

I never thought of searching for yoga on YouTube. After all, it is a practice. What is there to see? Until B suggested, so I thought why not? He typed in "Iyengar Yoga". And we found videos of our teacher's grandmaster - Mr B.K.S. Iyengar himself! The video below is from 1938, so he was 20 when he did this demonstration.



And if you haven't said "Wah lau eh! How he do that har?" by this point, here's a video of him practising when he's 73.



And if you want to be even more inspired, watch the video of his teacher, Krisnamacharya, who lived to 101.

If only I could do just 10% of what they could do. And I want to be as fit when I'm 73.
