Iyengar yoga offers a methodical and deeply refined approach to the ancient practice of yoga. Through precise attention to alignment and the use of props, this style makes yoga accessible to everyone, regardless of age, flexibility, or physical condition.
The practice emphasizes holding poses for longer durations, allowing you to develop strength, stability, and a profound understanding of your body's mechanics. Unlike faster-paced yoga styles, Iyengar gives you time to explore each posture fully and make adjustments to achieve optimal alignment.
Props such as blocks, straps, blankets, and chairs become your helpful companions, supporting your body and enabling you to experience poses that might otherwise be out of reach. This intelligent use of props ensures safety and helps prevent injury while gradually increasing your flexibility and range of motion.
