This is a film made by McPetruk in 1938 showing and shows Krishnamacharya demonstrating yoga. Here we see a young Iyengar (still alive, well, and doing yoga, BTW) doing advanced poses that constitute the advanced A & B astanga series. This is obviously well before Iyengar dropped the vinyasa aspect from his practice and rebranded it as "Iyengar Yoga", putting greater emphasis on alignment.

Realmente grandioso.Qué facilidad y flexibilidad,y qué dominio de la técnica. Tendría el maestro por esa época unos treinta años.

Is this B.K.S Iyengar or Krishnamacharya? It looks like Iyengar as a much younger man.

I intend to resume Yoga in 2010 after years of not doing it.

no doubt they can. not to take away from gymnastics, yoga is a precise science that heels the body. i have known many people heel serious spinal cord injuries by practice of yoga. Iyengar yoga is one of those. many a dancer has gotten back to dancing with the help of yoga after serious accidents..
