IYISF is a Non-Profit Yoga Organization

The Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco, as part of the larger Iyengar Yoga Association of Northern California is a membership-based non-profit yoga association. Our mission is to promote the study, practice, and teaching of yoga according to the teachings of Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar and to foster a flourishing yoga community.

As we turn the corner on 2023 and head into our 50th Anniversary year honoring the legacy of BKS Iyengar, we would like to thank you ALL for remaining a dedicated community of teachers, staff and students!

As most of you know, our current lease ended in March of this year. Unfortunately, our revenue has been lower than normal for 3 consecutive years and with increases in rent, this has forced us to look outside of our current location for a smaller studio. The Board, Staff and Teachers have been working diligently to locate a new studio and your support and involvement has been outstanding as we navigate through these rough waters. 

We are truly grateful for your patience and generous support over the years, especially throughout the pandemic, and hope that you will consider supporting our community as we enter our anniversary year and see us through this transition.  Donate to the Year-End Fundraiser today!
