Welcome back to On the Light.
In this episode, I sit down with Kirsten Agar, who shares how she first came to Iyengar Yoga in her early twenties after years of intense academic study. What began with a simple weekly class soon became a central part of her life. Kirsten talks about her unforgettable encounter with Guruji at the 1993 Euro Yoga Convention and how his teachings shaped her practice. She reflects on the importance of spirituality, authenticity, and staying rooted in the tradition, and she shares moving stories from her time at RIMYI in Pune. We also talk about what it means to carry forward Guruji’s legacy through ongoing practice and community.
