A Class with Zubin

Zubin arrived in Rishikesh along with the winter cold and lit the fire of yoga inside our hearts. Zubin, a dedicated student, who follows the path of Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar, has been teaching Yoga for more than 12 years. He was exposed to Yoga at a quite young age and today has his own Iyengar Yoga Centre "Iyengar Yogabhyasa", located in central Mumbai. Although he only conducted two classes he nourished us with information that will always be useful to our practice and we were truly inspired by him.

Zubin , as a rajasic teacher, asked us not to think but to be in the moment, to listen and afterwards apply his teachings during our self -practice. During class we could be sattvic students, as it was the teacher's job to think.

The sequence was not the main focus since Zubin's aim was to awaken our awareness to the intelligence of our bodies. He reminded us that to practice yoga does not mean doing the asana as a simple action rather as a long process of penetrating inside each cell and making it work with intelligence.

He emphasized that yoga should be done mindfully; we should try to reach even difficult goals for which a lot of will power is needed.

Zubin made us understand that in each asana there should be Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharna, Dhyana and Samadhi.

He talked of the importance of Mr. B.K.S Iyengar's life-long research from which a method of yoga has evolved which helps both healthy and disabled people to achieve balance.
