Wanting to know more about the Iyengar style of yoga?

The Iyengar style of yoga has a particular emphasis on body alignment and is characterized by its precision and attention to detail in the practice of each posture. Awareness of this and the benefits of careful extension are taught in the form of asanas, or poses. Whilst the asanas are an ancient Indian system of movement, they have been developed in a particular way by BKS Iyengar from Pune, India, whose method has become one of the most respected worldwide. BKS Iyengar has studied the yoga postures in depth and developed a system that makes yoga very accessible to everyone.
Iyengar teachers are extensively trained and must continue their training to remain qualified. The Iyengar teaching programme is very carefully designed so that students can progress from beginner to intermediate and beyond and practice safely, even those with injuries or illnesses.
