“Yoga is a practical method for making one’s life purposeful, useful and noble.”
~ BKS Iyengar
Based on the teaching of the yoga master B.K.S. Iyengar who was listed by Time Magazine as one of the most influential people of the 20th Century is the most widely practiced method in the world.
From the beginning, Iyengar Yoga develops strength, stamina, concentration, coordination, flexibility and a sense of well being. Using the body as an instrument to train the mind, the asanas (postures) become “meditation in action”. Physical and emotional stability, and mental clarity come from a steadiness in the practice. Beyond just the physical aspect, it becomes a medium for spiritual growth and transformation.
The Iyengar method of yoga moves systematically within a class and from class to class in an orderly and progressive way. Deep-seated understanding and experience of the yoga asanas (postures) allow Certified Iyengar Instructors to teach appropriately to the group in front of them. Teachers take into consideration the student’s experience, age, conditions and needs. Through B.K.S. Iyengar’s innovative use of props including straps, blankets, blocks and many others, the yoga poses are accessible to all students wishing to learn yoga at any stage of life.
