"My guru refused to answer any of my innocent inquiries on yoga. He did not instruct me as I do my students, offering them step-by-step guidance on asana," Iyengar said on Friday evening.

B K S Iyengar has written 14 books, including the groundbreaking 1966 manual, Light on Yoga. A perennial bestseller it has been translated into over 20 languages.
