  Why IYENGAR® Yoga

-IYENGAR® Yoga has a strong foundation, building on many years of practical research and experimentation by
B.K.S. Iyengar and his family. Iyengar Yoga is forever evolving and growing.

4 keystones of practice:

-Correct alignment in asana, ensures a safe and penetrating practice, which in turn ensures the full
physiological, mental and emotional benefits from your practice.

-The development and use of props by B.K.S. Iyengar, for safe learning and exploration. The use of props
opens the mind to the possibility of going beyond our limitations. Props are very useful if we are working
with different ailments, back pain or knee problems.

-The use of sequencing in the progression of the class, the monthly cycle and the full cycle that is life.
Sequencing in class supports the learning of more difficult and challenging poses, by preparing the body
and mind to go deeper.





-The concept of timing. By holding the poses longer we get the full physiological effect on our nervous-,
hormonal- and digestive systems. As well as the mental benefits from concentrating and focusing on
sustaining the awareness in the body, mind and breath.

-In IYENGAR® Yoga there is a great emphasis on balancing stability and mobility, and flexibility and strength,
both in body and mind. Iyengar Yoga practice is meant to support our daily lives, with respect for our
individual life conditions.
