At the time Lilian Biggs was the most senior Iyengar Yoga teacher in the region and had a huge class base of students. People travelled from far and wide to come to Lilian’s classes and so BDIYI members spread over a huge area of Yorkshire and Lancashire.
Our large region is the legacy of Lilian Bigg’s success in developing a strong base of students and teachers.
It was Lilian Biggs, who in 1991 asked Mr Iyengar if he would permit a local yoga group to be formed in his name. Mr Iyengar gave his blessing and the the BDIYI was born.
