After B.K.S. Iyengar is an abstract bronze sculpture, by Robert Engman, that commemorates B._K._S._Iyengar's 1976 visit to the United States.

It is located at Morris Arboretum, 9414 Meadowbrook Avenue, English Park Step Garden, Philadelphia.[1] It was dedicated in September 1988.[2]

Another casting is at the Annmarie Sculpture Garden, Solomons, Maryland,[3][4] on loan from the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.[5]

The statute was originally sited at Cobble Court, the historic house built by J. H. Carstair and owned by Marvin and Marian Garfinkel. Iyengar was a guest of the Garfinkels when he visited Philadelphia in 1976 and gave a public demonstration of yoga at Haverford College. Artist Robert Engman was one of the Garfinkels' neighbors.
