What is Iyengar Yoga?
“Yoga is the golden key which unlocks the door to peace, tranquility, and joy. ” — B.K.S. IYENGAR
Hatha Yoga aims to harmonize the body and mind through physical postures and breath control.
Iyengar Yoga, a branch of Hatha Yoga founded by B.K.S. Iyengar, emphasizes precise alignment and movement, often using props for support. This attention to detail aids in maintaining mental focus and promotes a seamless flow of movement, enhancing the active and engaging experience of meditation in action.
Practitioners of Iyengar Yoga improve flexibility, strength, and focus, drawing inspiration from B.K.S. Iyengar's exceptional longevity and physical and mental agility until his passing at the age of 95 in 2014. His enduring vitality serves as a testament to the efficacy of his teachings.
Central to Iyengar Yoga is breath awareness, essential for cultivating mindfulness and presence. Rooted in yogic philosophy, Iyengar's teachings profoundly influence modern yoga practices.
By integrating concepts like the Eight Limbs of Yoga and 'sankalpa' (intention), Iyengar Yoga guides students towards self-realization and inner transformation.
Experienced teachers, themselves dedicated practitioners, foster a supportive environment for personal growth and self-discovery, embodying the principles they impart.
