Pune: World-renowned yoga guru and founder of the Iyengar School of Yoga B K S Iyengar passed away here early this morning following illness. 96-year-old Iyengar had been ailing since some time and was admitted to a private hospital here a week back.

He was put on dialysis after his condition worsened two days back. He breathed his last at 3.15 AM. Iyengar, honoured with Padma Vibhushan, is survived by a son and daughter.

The legendary yoga guru was admitted to a city hospital on August 12 following complaints of acute breathlessness and palpitation, Dr Deepali Mande, who attended on him, told PTI.

PM Narendra Modi condoled the death of Iyengar. “I am deeply saddened to know about Yogacharya BKS Iyengar’s demise & offer my condolences to his followers all over the world,” he said on Twitter.
