George Dovas

Iyengar Yoga Teacher

George Dovas encountered Iyengar Yoga

in Sydney, Australia in 1999 when he was

working as a fitness instructor. At that

time, George was keen to understand

what it means to be "healthy" and “fit”. The

teachings of BKS Iyengar revealed aspects

of human health that George hadn’t

encountered in any other modality or by

any other “fitness expert”.

Not only was BKS Iyengar’s vision of

human health profound, it was also his

brilliance as a teacher that was

noteworthy, and the skill with which he

could convey the theoretical

understanding of total “health”

interwoven with the practices to achieve

that.

In 2001 George relocated to Hong Kong

at a time when fitness and Yoga were

rapidly growing in South East Asia.

Now, George is the Director of The

Iyengar Yoga Centre of Hong Kong. He

teaches students of all levels and is a

mentor for upcoming teachers. George is

an assessor of teachers seeking Iyengar Yoga certification in South East Asia and

China.

As well as teaching Yoga, he has given talks on Yoga, its benefits and how this

ancient science is being verified by modern science.

Annually he studies at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI) in

Pune, India with the Iyengar family.

Formerly, as well as working in the fitness industry, he worked as a business

consultant for a top tier professional-services firm.
