What is Iyengar Yoga?

Iyengar Yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga that emphasizes precision, alignment, and detailed instruction in every posture (asana). Developed by B.K.S. Iyengar, this method is known for its focus on bringing the body into balance through controlled movements and breath awareness. Props such as belts, blocks, and blankets are often used to help practitioners perform poses correctly and safely, regardless of their level of flexibility or experience.

Teachers of Iyengar Yoga undergo a rigorous training process over a minimum of six years, ensuring that they bring a high level of expertise and understanding to guide students safely and effectively through their practice.

In addition to its focus on physical postures, Iyengar Yoga incorporates breath control (pranayama), and concentration, fostering a deep connection between body, mind, and breath. Regular practice cultivates strength, flexibility, and stability, while promoting mental clarity and inner peace. With its structured approach, Iyengar Yoga is suitable for people of all ages and abilities, from beginners to more advanced practitioners.

Its therapeutic applications make it particularly beneficial for those with specific physical conditions or injuries, allowing them to experience the profound benefits of yoga under the careful guidance of highly trained teachers.
