Yoga Drawings

Studies of BKS Iyengar’s diamond pose

In these drawings I tried to make visible the expression of BKS Iyengar’s diamond pose. With my drawings I’d like to inspire the fact, that one can learn and improve his yoga practice by studying and exploring professional yoga postures, transcending styles.

Iyengar centers himself very strongly in the diamond, contracting his body in the lower spine and hips. His diamond is quite high and at the same time he is strongly contracted inward and towards the ground.

Even if he opens his chest, the contraction within his diamond can be felt very much.
