Iyengar
Yoga
The current surge in the practice of yoga worldwide shows that yoga
is as relevant today as it was 5,000 years ago. The stress of our
complex lives and responsibilities may at times overshadow our personal
and spiritual needs. When practiced with patience, determination and
effort, yoga invigorates the health of our bodies, steadies our minds
and enlightens our spirit. BKS Iyengar is a living yoga master and
one of the world's foremost authorities on yoga. He believes that
yoga should be available to everyone, and has developed a method to
allow access to yoga for all. Props are used in the Iyengar tradition
of yoga to help attain posses which we may be unable to do otherwise.
Iyengar yoga is anatomically correct because of the emphasis on proper
alignment of the body. With the practice of yoga, comes a sense of
physiological well-being and a connectedness with our own body and
mind. |
