Iyengar Yoga
Iyengar yoga is style of hatha yoga that was developed by renowned yogi, B.K.S. Iyengar. Based on Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga, Iyengar yoga utilizes 200 different poses and 14 types of pranayama (breath work) to achieve balance and increase self-awareness. While the poses and the technique involved is very specific, modifications and variations make it possible for anyone to practice Iyengar yoga—regardless of skill level.
In a typical Iyengar yoga class, you can expect to move through poses slowly and deliberately, with a strong focus on alignment. The intention of iyengar yoga is to increase your flexibility within each pose, and in the process evolve to a more advanced level of practice. This systemized approach allows beginner yogis to gradually progress to intermediate variations of the iyengar yoga poses, deepening their practice and encouraging the following health benefits.
