One of the key differences between Iyengar Yoga and other forms of yoga is that Iyengar yoga uses supports called ‘props’, like straps, blocks, cushions and blankets. Props help make Iyengar accessible to all, so everyone can perform asanas correctly and safely – including beginners, and those with physical limitations or different ability or fitness levels.
Iyengar Yoga is a disciplined and systematic approach to yoga, with a diverse program of asanas (you won’t repeat the same sequences every day). This variety in your practice helps prevent injury and overuse.
You will progress at a pace that suits you, and as your practice develops, teachers will start to introduce pranayama – breath control.
What can you expect from an Iyengar Yoga:
A safe, methodical progression of yoga postures
*Technique – precision, alignment and awareness in performing the yoga postures
*Sequencing to develop strength, flexibility, stamina, concentration and relaxation
*Clear demonstration and explanation by well-qualified teachers
*Individual correction and adjustment by the teacher when necessary
*Attention to detail, with active help
Classes are challenging, however, the Iyengar method is a therapeutic approach that supports holistic health.
Iyengar yoga is notable for its emphasis on precise body alignment and the sequences in which asanas are practiced. You hold postures for longer so that your muscles relax and lengthen, while your awareness is raised.
