What is Iyengar Yoga and why does it matter?
Iyengar Yoga involves detailed instructions and sequencing to emphasize alignment and precision. The use of props by a skillful teacher makes poses accessible for everybody to practice them correctly and safely. Iyengar Yoga is for all bodies and all beings. Everyone is welcome. Beyond fitness, Iyengar Yoga aligns the body with the mind. Through a steady dedicated practice, asanas become a form of meditation, and the breath guides us towards a quiet and steady mind.
