We are happy to welcome back Christian Pisano, he was in Stavanger in 2025 on the yearly meeting of Iyengar Yoga Norge.
Christian Pisano has practiced Iyengar Yoga for over 35 years.
His teaching points to the direct recognition of consciousness—we are already what we seek. He emphasizes the inner intelligence of each asana and a living, intuitive pedagogy within us all.
Having spent years in India studying with his teacher, as well as philosophy and Sanskrit, his approach is deeply influenced by the non-dual tradition of Kashmiri Shaivism. He is one of only three holders of the Advanced Senior Diploma from B. K. S. Iyengar, and the author of The Contemplation of the Hero, The Thar Desert, and The Growl of the Bear.
