What is Iyengar Yoga?

A refined, in-depth system of yoga that emphasizes safety, optimal body alignment, and attention to detail.

Iyengar yoga can be taken on as a practice by anyone, at any point in life.  Postures are adjusted to meet the conditions and needs of each student utilizing props such as belts, blocks, and blankets.  They enable beginning students, the elderly, or those with physical limitations to perform the asanas correctly, minimizing the risk of injury or strain.

Strength, coordination, flexibility, and an increased sense of well-being are some of the benefits of the Iyengar method.  The practice will often result in eliminating aches and pains as well as improving posture.  It can be used therapeutically to aid in healing many kinds of injuries, both physical and emotional.  With continued practice, your abilities, along with your health and vitality will develop over time.
