Our studio was established in 1997. Before that our teachers used to give yoga classes in different locations starting from 1994 in the Theater of the Movie Actors on Povarskaya street where Larissa, the founder of our Studio, worked as an actress.

Since then, we have moved several times. From the theater, we moved to a room in a college and later on to yet another theatre - the Theater Near Stanislavsky's House - where we were up until spring 2002, when the building was demolished.

In May 2002 we expanded into our current location where we have two beautiful and fully equipped rooms - the Surya and Chandra studios (Sun and Moon). Our facilities also include female and male changing rooms, bathrooms and showers.

Before opening our new location, we sent the architectural design of the studio for the personal approval of Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar and we were honored to receive the permission to use Mr Iyengar's name as part of the official name of our studio.

Location

The studio is located in the courtyard between Old Arbat Street, Sivtsev Vrazhek, Plotnikov and Denezhny Pereuloks. It is very close to the Garden Ring and near McDonald's on Old Arbat.
Walking to the studio from the Smolenskaya metro station takes between 3 and 5 minutes. Start on Old Arbat by McDonald's, with your back to the Garden Ring and walk down Old Arbat on the right hand side of the street. Pass a pharmacy at the corner of Old Arbat and Denezhny Pereulok and two buildings further down the street, from there, turn right and pass through the archway leading into a courtyard. Once inside of the courtyard, you will face a second archway. In the wall of this archway, you will find a metal door on the right. This is the entrance to our studio. Ring the bell and we will be happy to welcome you to our studio.
