Prashant Yoga Nilayam: Upholding the Legacy of Iyengar Yoga in Chennai
Prashant Yoga Nilayam is a dedicated yoga center in Velachery, Chennai, committed to the comprehensive study and practice of the Iyengar tradition. The center was inaugurated on December 14, 2017, marking the start of the centenary year of the revered Yogacharya Sri B.K.S. Iyengar. It was founded by Sri. Arun H.S. and Smt. Srimatha Arun, who are long-time disciples of Iyengar. The Nilayam strives for the highest standards of excellence by offering a challenging, profound, and rewarding learning experience in the Yoga tradition as taught by Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar, Geeta S. Iyengar ji, and Prashant S. Iyengar ji.
The center operates with a threefold mission: to promote the philosophical study and practical application of yoga in the tradition of Patanjali and the Iyengar lineage; to advance public health and community well-being; and to create a vital space for like-minded individuals to gather, discuss, learn, and advance their yoga studies.
Prashant Yoga Nilayam is well-equipped to support its mission. The facility features a spacious 1200 sq. ft. well-equipped Yoga hall, a dedicated library, and essential spaces for demonstrations, lecturing, and changing rooms. The center’s intent is to serve as a sanctuary from the hectic and disconnecting pace of modern life, offering a path to good health and happiness for all who are willing to unwind.
Instruction is provided by experienced teachers, including Gopikrishna Swaminathan ji, who began his Iyengar Yoga studies in 2004 and has over 20 years of practice.
