Benefits of Iyengar Yoga

The Iyengar method promotes mobility, stability, strength and alignment in addition to flexibility and relaxation.

Iyengar yoga emphasizes precision of alignment in the yoga poses. This is important so that weak areas strengthen and stiff areas release.

It is beneficial to be patient with ourselves and to not compare ourselves to others.

Freedom and spaciousness in the body develop with practice over time.

Meaning of Yoga

“Yoga is an ancient art based on an extremely subtle science, one of the body, mind, and soul. The prolonged practice of yoga will, in time, lead the student to a sense of peace and a feeling of being at one with her or his environment.” B.K.S. Iyengar
