Iyengar Yoga

Born in 1918, B.K.S. Iyengar began teaching yoga in 1936.

One of Iyengar's major innovations is in the use of props. Today it is quite common to see blankets, blocks, straps, pillows, chairs, and bolsters being used in yoga studios. The use of these props is comparatively new in the history of yoga and comes directly from Iyengar. The purpose of the props is to assist the student in attaining ideal alignment, even if the body is not yet open enough.

Iyengar Yoga do not perform a series of poses, but on holding different poses to perfect them.

It is less strenuous and builds strength and flexibility. Hence it is suitable for beginners, elderly, ill, overweight, or for yogis who like to perfect their poses.
