Kofi Busia is one of the world's foremost teachers in the Iyengar tradition.
He has been teaching for over 35 years, has held his Advanced Certificate for over 33 years, and has taught all over the world.
He began yoga as a student at Oxford and has taught professionally ever since. Throughout the 1970's and up until the mid-1980's, he studied regularly with BKS Iyengar, and directly from him on a regular basis at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, Maharashtra, South India.
Although usually resident in Oxford, England, Kofi Busia is currently based in Santa Cruz, California, where he is in semi-retirement while putting the finishing touches to two books, one of which is an original translation and commentary, direct from the Sanskrit, of the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali. Until this work is complete he will continue to offer only a skeleton number of classes and workshops mainly in the Northern California area.
