Iyengar Yoga

IYENGAR YOGA
The Iyengar approach to yoga is firmly based on the traditional eight limbs of yoga expounded by Patanjali in his classic treatise, The Yoga Sutras, written over 2,500 years ago.   It is a disciplined and deeply researched system developed over 75 years by Yogacharya BKS Iyengar who still practices daily - exploring, studying, writing and teaching about yoga.

What is unique about Iyengar Yoga is that it is characterized in the practice of asana and pranayama with the innovative approach emphasising precision and alignment, planned sequencing, timing and the use of props.  This approach has allowed people of varying ages, levels of health and fitness to enjoy the benefits which a sustained practice can bring - the ability to face the physical, mental and emotional challenges of contemporary life with strength, vitality, mobility, thoughtfulness and equanimity.

The term "Iyengar Yoga" was coined by students of Mr. Iyengar to distinguish Guruji's approach from other styles of yoga.

"Yoga means union. The union of the individual soul with the Universal Spirit is yoga. But this is too abstract a notion to be easily understood, so for our level of understanding I say that yoga is the union of body with the mind and of mind with the soul".      BKS Iyengar - Tree of Yoga
