Abhay Javakhedkar IYENGAR YOG SADHANA was founded way back in 1978 when Abhay's father told Guruji that his family would be moving to a new Bungalow in the suburbs of Pune. Guruji responded that as it was an up and coming area, it would be a good place to begin Iyengar Yoga classes. Abhay and his parents began teaching classes in their living room in 1988. They moved the classes to a newly built space on first floor in 1994, then extended it to include a small office (with magic column and window) in 1998.

Abhay and his parents are long time students at RIMYI. Abhay is still to this day a regular assistant in the medical classes.

“After I settled down, with the help of not only my parents but also my wife Shivangi, we built an Institute, and now as with God's grace and Guruji's blessings, we moved to a new well equipped and spacious hall in 2015. By God's grace and with Guruji's, Geetaji's, and Sunitaji's blessings and Abhijata's good wishes, Iyengar Yog Sadhana is popular among Indians and foreigners even in advance studies.”
