Persatuan Iyengar Yoga Malaysia (PIYM), a non-profit association, is incorporated to celebrate and honour the life and work of Guruji Iyengar, to provide information about Iyengar Yoga and to ensure that Guruji’s teachings, guidance and beliefs are adhered to throughout the Asian region.

PIYM sees the promotion of the Iyengar Yoga method in Asia as our main and most important mission and we make efforts to spread this unique method, organize events in order to interest the general public in Iyengar Yoga and to adopt yoga into their daily life.

We host a variety of events including workshops by many internationally revered senior teachers of Guruji’s system to Malaysia for opportunities to study Iyengar Yoga from the source. PIYM’s activities include conducting certification assessments, monitor fulfilment of continuing education requirements, and maintain a code of ethics for its certified teachers. PIYM also issues a quarterly magazine with pertinent and interesting information and to keep members fully appraised of the Iyengar Yoga community worldwide. PIYM is expanding its activity to include annual retreats in India and the Asian region.

Lastly, PIYM periodically designs and prints unique, one-of-its-kind t-shirts for sale to raise funds to finance and run its many activities. To deepen members’ insight into the benefits of yoga, members can subscribe to the Yoga Rahasya magazine through the association.
