Iyengar Yoga

Iyengar Yoga emphasizes three key elements: alignment, sequencing, and timing.

It focuses on maintaining proper alignment within poses while respecting the body’s limitations. The use of props is encouraged to support students and prevent injury, allowing them to safely achieve and hold asanas. Proper alignment fosters balance between the body, mind, and breath, while the specific order of postures promotes a safe, structured progression that aids in the opening and balancing of both physical and emotional states.

Iyengar Yoga involves holding poses for longer periods. This approach allows for greater stability and enables practitioners to deepen their postures safely. As a result, Iyengar Yoga enhances strength, flexibility, and the connection between body and mind, fostering greater sensitivity and awareness.
