About IYA
Iyengar Yoga Australia (IYA) is dedicated to honouring and promoting the work of Yogacharya BKS Iyengar in Australia. Created by a small group of just 19 students and teachers, we have grown into a vibrant and welcoming community committed to sharing the art, science and philosophy of Iyengar Yoga.
Since our humble beginnings in 1985, we now bring together around 750 members. Iyengar Yoga Australia (IYA) is governed by its Board, supported by its Committees, and is a registered company which complies with Australian Corporations Law. IYA is the official liaison of the Iyengar family at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Institute (RIMYI) in Pune, and we regularly host members of the Iyengar family at national conferences and workshops.
Our Mission
Our mission is to promote the teachings of BKS Iyengar in Australia and internationally, establish and maintain comprehensive guidelines for certification; conduct regular assessments; provide social, cultural and educational services for our members; uphold thorough ethical standards; protect and oversee the use of the Iyengar brand throughout the community.
Committees & Contacts
Iyengar Yoga Australia is led by a Board of seven Directors and several committees supporting our membership and the day to day business of the association.
