Coming up with a name for this website was a process. I didn’t want to use my own name as a brand, and I wanted to have a name that represented the core of Iyengar Yoga. I thought about Patanjali, lineage, inclusivity but nothing stood out to me.
So, I began reading articles in the Yoga Rahasya volume 27. While reading Abhijata Iyengar’s article ‘The core of Iyengar Yoga’ a sentence jumped out at me about the reason why people start practicing Iyengar Yoga:
“Whether one comes for relief from pain, for fitness or flexibility, for peace of mind, for health, for learning āsana-s/prānāyāma/yoga…whatever may be the aim, Iyengar Yoga is tuned to Patañjali, is tuned to Yoga.”
I underlined it with my pencil for later. The next day my daughter was going through the same article to help me and she found that phrase and said, “what about tuned to yoga?” So, I thought about it more carefully and felt that it aligned with what I wanted for a name.
