Iyengar Yoga

Iyengar Yoga is a deep and scientific teaching method of classical Hatha Yoga named after B.K.S Iyengar. It follows the 8 steps of Astanga Yoga as described by Sage Patanjali in Yoga sutras in the 5th century B.C

Over the millennia of its existence, yoga has given happiness, health, longevity, and spiritual growth to innumerable practitioners, first in India and then around the world. Generation after generation, great masters contributed to the development and perfecting of every aspect of yoga.

However, a real breakthrough was made in the 20th century by the great Indian practitioner and mentor B.K.S Iyengar who made the beauty and intelligence of yoga accessible to everyone. His method has won the hearts of millions of followers across all corners of our planet. 

By taking the ancient Indian tradition and philosophy of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali as a basis, and cleansing yoga of everything superficial; he perfected each one of more than 200 asanas.  Following 75 years of personal experience in practice and teaching yoga, BKS Iyengar presented a rebirth of classical yoga to the modern world.

Precision

Precise alignment of muscles, bones and joints in all postures helps to achieve the balance between body, mind, and breath.

Use of props

Props were designed by B.K.S Iyengar himself to help students to gain a correct body alignment. This ensures safe and harmonious practice of asanas for all.

Sequencing

The specific order in which asanas are performed allows a cumulative effect that leads to a state of peacefulness at the end of the practice.
