🪴What Is Iyengar Yoga?
Iyengar Yoga is based on the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar (1918-2014), one of modern yoga’s most revered teachers and practitioners. He helped bring yoga to the west with his pioneering teaching in the 60s and 70s and with his book Light On Yoga, which has served as a “bible of yoga” for generations of yoga students and teachers.
Iyengar yoga emphasizes precise alignment of all parts of the body within each yoga pose. B.K.S. Iyengar taught that alignment awakened the intelligence of the body, deeply engaged the mind, and helped students pe*****te and harmonize the physical, mental, and spiritual “layers” of the self. He also greatly extended and refined the use of yoga props and was a pioneer and master of using yoga therapeutically.
Iyengar yoga is grounded in the ancient Indian art of yoga. Iyengar Yoga teaches not only yoga poses (asana) and breathing techniques (pranayama), but all eight “limbs” of classical yoga, which range from ethical practices to meditative absorption.
Iyengar Yoga teachers are held to an unusually rigorous standard. Certification as an Iyengar Yoga Teacher requires years of training and evaluation. We are trained to teach proper alignment of the body, to use props to modify the poses and teach specific actions, and to incorporate all the limbs of yoga into our teaching to help students pe*****te and harmonize all the layers of the self.
