Spread those fingers wide!

In Iyengar Yoga, even the fingers matter. Spreading them evenly will extend your base, distribute weight and protect the wrists, and connect the arms’ action through the whole body. A small detail that can transform a pose.

In Adho Mukha Virasana (Downward facing Hero Pose), try to press the palms firmly into the mat. Extend through each finger, spreading them evenly from the base to the tips, like rays of the sun radiating outward.
It's amazing to notice how this small action can soften and broaden the shoulders, release tension, and allow the breath to flow more deeply.

How wide can you spread yours?

Last week, we workshopped Chaturanga Dandasana, or Four-Limbed Staff Pose, first working from the floor, experiencing the usual wobbles and struggles that ensued. Then, with the use of the elastic straps (or belts), Level 2 students were pleasantly surprised at the sudden ease and new lightness in the pose, almost like being in an adult “jolly jumper” 😉.

What is the magic of the straps? They support the upper body and shoulders, giving space to really refine the alignment. Hands can move closer to the waist, the body can lengthen into that strong, steady “staff” shape, and the whole pose feels more accessible and joyful.

It was such a delight to watch the shift from strain to strength!

Have you ever wondered what equipment is used in Iyengar Yoga?
This is what you will find at our Hamilton Yoga studio:

Iyengar Yoga is known for the use of props, enabling students to achieve better alignment and to experience the many benefits from the asanas, regardless of their level of flexibility or ability. Props are there to assist students and make achieving a pose easier. With professional guidance from the teacher, students soon learn which props to use and when. At Hamilton Yoga, we offer a wide selection of commonly used yoga props.

Most standard props are featured in our beginners’ classes. Additionally, we are equipped with many other important Iyengar Yoga appliances used by more experienced yoga practitioners allowing for a diverse practice.

We provide all essential props for our students. Some students prefer to bring their own basic equipment such as mats, blocks, and belts to class.

In our classes we teach you how to use the different props appropriately and safely.

Our equipment includes:

💙 Yoga mats
💙 Yoga blocks
💙 Yoga belts
💙 Blankets
💙 Yoga bolsters
💙 Yoga chairs
💙 Wall ropes
💙 Shoulder stand cushions
💙 Yoga kickboards
💙 Halasana benches
💙 Back benders
💙 Headstander’s
💙 Headstander yoke
💙 Setu bandha benches
💙 Tressler
💙 Stage
