Iyengar Yoga
“When I practice, I am a philosopher.
When I teach, I am a scientist.
When I demonstrate, I am an artist.”
B.K.S. Iyengar
Yoga is considered a powerful tool to relieve the stresses of modern-day life which in turn can help promote total physical and spiritual well being.
Iyengar yoga, created by B.K.S. Iyengar, is known for its use of “props”, such as belts and blocks, as aids. It’s fundamentals of postures (asanas) and breath control (pranayama) are structured and categorized to allow students to progress safely from the basic to the more advanced. This is done by emphasizing the development of strength, stamina, flexibility and balance, as well as concentration (dharana) and meditation (dhyana).
Iyengar Yoga is characterized by great attention to detail and precise focus on body alignment. Iyengar pioneered the use of “props” such as cushions, benches, blankets, ropes, and even sand bags, which function as aids allowing beginners to experience asanas more easily and fully than might otherwise be possible without several years of practice. Props also allow tired or ill students to enjoy the benefits of many asanas via fully “supported” methods requiring less muscular effort.
