THE FOUNDER OF IYENGAR YOGA

B.K.S. IYENGAR

Iyengar Yoga emerged from the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar. Throughout his extensive travels, demonstrations, seminars, and books such as “Light on Yoga”, Mr. Iyengar brought Yoga to the West. Iyengar Yoga is now practiced all around the world by thousands of people.

ABOUT THE IYENGAR METHOD

IYENGAR YOGA

USE OF PROPS (BLANKETS, BRICKS, ROPE, WALL BELTS)

Mr. Iyengar developed and invented many props to help his students understand the asanas. Iyengar Yoga teachers skilfully use props to adjust each student to his individual needs in each Yoga posture.

Props help to hold the poses for a longer time and deepen the experience of the asana. They improve alignment thereby intensifying the effects of the asana. Also, they make postures that would be inaccessible to most, accessible, enjoyable, and safe.

THE SEQUENCE OF PRACTICE AND TIMINGS

There are levels of classes and orders in which postures are thought so that all can progress safely. Each class is prepared and has a sequence of asanas that targets a specific goal. Poses are held for a certain amount of time so that the practitioner can observe himself as well as receive the full benefits of the asana.

“But a yogi never forgets that health must begin with the body. Your body is the child of the soul. You must nourish and train your child. Physical health is not a commodity to be bargained for. Nor can it be swallowed in the form of drugs and pills. It has to be earned through sweat.”

B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Life

ALIGNMENT

In an Iyengar Yoga class, emphasis is given to the correct alignment of the body in the asana. This creates awareness, sensibility, and precision.

“It is through the alignment of the body that I discovered the alignment of my mind, self, and intelligence.” B.K.S. Iyengar.
