### History
"B. K. S. Iyengar began teaching gradually," - clarify what exactly Iyengar was teaching
Done.
"The book has been described as the bible of modern yoga," - perhaps mention who described the boook as the bible of modern yoga
Done.
"and has been translated into at least 23 languages.[9][1]" - refs in numerical order please
Done.
Wikilink Pune
Done.
"in Inner London Education Authority evening classes" - try to avoid a violation of WP:SEAOFBLUE by rewriting this section of text
Done.
I believe the fifth paragraph in this section would be better off merged into the fourth paragraph in this section
Done.


### Style
"The style "emphasises precision and alignment"," - according to whom?
Attributed.
"i.e. moving a little in the right direction" - slightly is more formal
Edited.
"Postures are held for a relatively long period compared to other schools of yoga;" - clarify it is a long period of time
Done.
"to enjoy the benefits of many asanas" - this sounds a little informal and might be better off to be made more formal if possible
Done
"Postures are held for a relatively long period" - same query as the third one in this section
Done.
"(such as Trikonasana and Virabhadrasana[18])," - the reference would be better off placed at the end of the comma
Done.
Trikonasana should not be linked twice in close succession
Fixed.
Delink Mary Dunn since she is already linked in the previous section
Done.


### Training, certification, and standards
"and updated its ethics standards (based on the Yamas and Niyamas in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali)" - don't think the parentheses are appropriate here
Removed.


### References
Reference 4 should include the page number that states where the information is located
This is intentionally citing the whole book, to fit the context of that sentence.
Reference 19 is missing the date it was published
Added.
Reference 26 should mention the date it was published and the author who wrote the source
Added.
References 27 & 28 should mention the date the sources were accessed
Added.
Overall the main issues are with the prose and some fields missing from a few of the references. On hold. MWright96 (talk) 18:32, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
