Iyengar Yoga is a meticulous and precise style of yoga that emphasizes alignment, stability, and the use of props to support and enhance the practice. Founded by B.K.S. Iyengar, this form of yoga is renowned for its systematic approach, which allows practitioners to develop strength, flexibility, and body awareness through detailed instruction and careful attention to posture.

Key features of Iyengar Yoga include:

• Focus on Alignment: Each asana (posture) is performed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring optimal positioning and balance. This focus helps prevent injury and fosters a deeper understanding of how each pose affects the body and mind.
• Use of Props: Props such as blocks, straps, blankets, and chairs are commonly utilized to aid practitioners in achieving correct alignment and to make poses more accessible, regardless of skill level. These tools enable individuals to explore a wider range of postures, creating a supportive environment for both beginners and advanced students.
• Thematic Classes: Classes are often structured around specific themes, allowing practitioners to focus on particular aspects of their practice, such as:
  • Building strength
  • Enhancing flexibility
  • Breath control
