How is Iyengar Yoga different from many other styles of Yoga?
- In Iyengar Yoga classes the strong emphasis on precision and alignment in the postures enables correct positioning of the skeletal and organic body and the proper functioning of the breath.
- Iyengar Yoga is methodical and systematic both in the introduction of new postures and in the sequencing of postures within the class.
- Iyengar Yoga offers a balance of dynamic and strengthening postures, passive and restorative ones, breathing and relaxation.
- In Iyengar Yoga classes the postures are sometimes held for longer periods to improve awareness and increase stamina.
- In Iyengar Yoga classes teachers not only demonstrate the poses but also correct the students verbally and at times physically
- In Iyengar Yoga classes the use of props enables stiff, injured, or older students
to do postures which would otherwise be difficult or impossible - In Iyengar Yoga classes many individual physical problems and injuries are catered for within the class. Everyone does not necessarily do all the same postures.
