BKS Iyengar Yoga Association of Northern California (BIYANS) operates as a membership-based nonprofit organization that administers the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco. Located in San Francisco, California, the institute offers a comprehensive curriculum and teacher training in Iyengar Yoga, drawing on a long-standing tradition established in 1974. The organization serves students across levels—from newcomers to experienced teachers—and maintains a robust schedule of public classes, workshops, and events, along with a library, retail shop, and service opportunities. Its mission centers on the study, practice, and teaching of Iyengar Yoga, supported by a diverse faculty and one of the few state-accredited Iyengar teacher training programs in the United States. BIYANS positions itself within the wellness and fitness services sector, focusing on high-quality instruction in hatha and ashtanga yoga traditions as taught by B.K.S. Iyengar.
