WHAT IS IYENGAR YOGA?
BKS Iyengar has developed a form of yoga practice which features  precision and body alignment and careful  sequencing and timings of the yoga poses. This promotes stability in the body and steadiness in the breath.

WHAT SHALL I  EXPECT IN AN IYENGAR YOGA CLASS?
The yoga poses are demonstrated and explained to you by the teacher and specific instructions are given to help you achieve the correct pose.

Sometimes props (wooden/foam blocks,belts or blankets) are introduced to help you achieve this. The teachers are trained specifically to observe and ensure that you are moving correctly.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF IYENGAR YOGA?
Iyengar Yoga has a profound effect on  muscles and joints. Your body will become stronger, more balanced and free from tension. With continued practise your body will be  realigned and your posture significantly improved. Your breathing will become steadier and your mind calmer.Yoga will teach you to consciously relax and will help you to feel rested but at the same time energised.

You may experience a range of health benefits. For example students often report relief from backache, aches and pains, relief from respiratory or digestive problems and sleeping difficulties.
