WHAT IS IYENGAR YOGA? The unique approach of Iyengar Yoga places emphasis on detailed instructions, corrections, and use of props (blocks, blankets, belts) to achieve precise alignment of yoga poses (asanas) which trains muscle pairs to work evenly and to correct imbalances. Greater flexibility and strength are achieved simultaneously, allowing to progress into asanas of higher level of difficulty and to realize their profound health benefits. Classes include step-by-step instructions to classic asanas, breathing techniques, restorative poses, and relaxation. The use of props allows persons of limited fitness levels to do a greater variety of asanas and enjoy their benefits. Props also help to achieve profound levels of relaxation for quiet reflection and release of habitual tensions produced by busy life styles. ___________________________________________________________ * "Yoga is a friend to those who embrace it sincerely and totally. It lifts its practitioners from the clutches of pain and sorrow, and enables them to live fully, taking delight in life. The practice of yoga helps the lazy body to become active and vibrant. It transforms the mind making it harmonious. Yoga helps to keep one's body and mind in tune with the essence, the soul, so that all three are blended into one." BKS Iyengar |
