✨In lieu of a Monday episode, I have exciting news to share with the On the Light community!

For the first time, On the Light will host a live episode with Prashant Iyengar, exclusively for paid subscribers.

As a show of appreciation for your support, this event is **free for all current monthly subscribers to **On the Light. If you're not yet a subscriber, you can still become one and receive complimentary access by subscribing monthly before October 1. For those who prefer not to subscribe, registration will be available for a one-time fee.

Over the past 3 years, Prashantji has generously joined me for a series of conversations exploring Guruji's life and the auspicious subject of Yog. Many listeners have told me how much they value these episodes, which is why I'm so grateful that Prashantji has agreed to join us for this special live event.

Participants will be invited to submit questions in advance, inspired by any of Prashantji's previous appearances on On the Light. We'll spend our time together exploring those questions in conversation with Prashantji.

The B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga Studio of Dallas has generously offered to host this event and to provide registration via their WellnessLiving platform.

As many of you know, On the Light is an independently produced podcast, created as a labor of love and dedicated to preserving and sharing the teachings and legacy of B.K.S. Iyengar. Listener support is what makes these conversations possible.

My guest today is Claudia Díaz Boitano, a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher from Chile whose life and work have been deeply shaped by the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar and the teachers who carried those teachings forward. I'm also joined by my dear friend, Yemile Mizrahi, who suggested I reach out to Claudia and helped make this conversation possible.

Together, we explore Claudia's journey from a background in sports to a life devoted to yoga, her experiences studying with Faeq and Corine Biria, and the lasting impressions left by Guruji, Geetaji, and Prashantji. Along the way, Claudia shares beautiful reflections on devotion, community, and the responsibility we all share in keeping these precious teachings alive.

This episode is an absolute must-listen for anyone who teaches yoga, and for any practitioner of yoga as well.

In this thought-provoking conversation, Prashant Iyengar reminds us that teaching is about far more than conveying techniques, postures, or information. Every interaction with a student leaves an impression, and with that comes a profound responsibility. As teachers, we are not only transmitting methods; we are shaping how students understand and relate to yoga itself.

Prashantji speaks about the importance of Shastra as a living tradition of wisdom, one that has been handed down through generations and must be approached with humility, respect, and ongoing study. He also emphasizes that students are not objects to be instructed, but human beings to be guided with love, care, and sensitivity.

This conversation challenges us to reflect deeply on what it means to teach, what it means to learn, and how we can honor the tradition while serving the students who come to us.
