What is Iyengar Yoga?

Iyengar is specifically linked with the idea of yoga as a spiritual activity, and a discipline that he described as "the quest of the soul for the spark of divinity within us." In every movement, students should be spiritually aware, as yoga is more than a system of aerobic or flexibility exercises. Iyengar Yoga is a powerful discipline which can be practiced in all stages of life.

Iyengar Yoga is a purist style of yoga developed by and named after B.K.S Iyengar in the 1960s. Iyengar Yoga is a advanced style of yoga, placing the emphasis on precision and alignment. The practice is all about the details of your breath control (pranayama) and posture (asana) and is excellent for building strength and flexibility. Iyengar yoga is great for learning the subtleties of correct alignment for all ages and abilities. Iyengar also makes use of props to ensure all bodies at all stages of life can access yoga. Different students also work at different places under the guidance of the teacher depending on need and there is the option to practice more independently in classes. Just to clarify we teach in the Iyengar method at the centre.
