Episode 42: Practice with Integrity- Lois Steinberg
Welcome back to On the Light. I’m your host, Susan Johnson.Today I’m honored to be joined by Lois Steinberg.
Lois’s journey into Yoga began at just fourteen years old, sparked by a black-and-white television screen and a young girl’s curiosity about movement. What followed was a lifelong devotion to practice, study, and teaching that would place her heart devoted in the Iyengar tradition.
Lois spent extended, immersive periods at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, studying closely with B.K.S. Iyengar, Geetaji, and Prashant Iyengar over decades. Her path was rigorous, demanding, and transformative—shaped by discipline, deep inquiry, and profound personal experience.
Known worldwide for her work in yoga therapeutics and women’s health, Lois has played a pivotal role in transmitting these teachings with clarity, integrity, and compassion. She brings not only extraordinary technical knowledge, but a living memory of the teachings as they were embodied, tested, and refined at their source.
In this conversation, Lois shares candid stories from her early years of practice, her time in Pune, and the lessons—sometimes fierce, sometimes tender—that continue to inform her teaching today. This is a rare and deeply human glimpse into the lineage, the learning, and the lived experience of Iyengar Yoga.
