Iyengar Yoga is a form of Hatha yoga founded by B.K.S. Iyengar, focusing on precision, alignment, and control in each pose. Known for its detailed instructions and use of props like blocks, belts, and blankets, Iyengar Yoga makes postures accessible to practitioners of all levels, including beginners, those with injuries, or individuals with limited flexibility.
What sets Iyengar Yoga apart is its strong emphasis on alignment and the gradual progression in practice. Each pose is taught with careful attention to the anatomical structure, which helps to develop strength, flexibility, balance, and concentration. Unlike more dynamic styles, Iyengar Yoga encourages holding poses longer, allowing time to explore the physical and mental aspects deeply. This method also incorporates therapeutic elements, making it a valuable practice for recovery and overall wellness.
