Yoga

Yoga is an ancient and timeless art, science, and philosophy that emphasizes performing one’s daily responsibilities with awareness, integrity, and compassion. Yoga involves daily practice of yoga postures and breathing exercises that work every muscle, bone, joint, and organ. Working through the concreteness of the body, yoga teaches one to observe and integrate the body, the breath and the mind.

Iyengar Yoga

Iyengar yoga is based on the teaching of B.K.S. Iyengar who lived in Pune, India. He studied, practiced, and taught the ancient science of yoga for over 70 years and wrote several well known books, such as Light on Yoga, Light on Pranayama, Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and many more. He is well known for his discoveries, innovations and ways to reach perfection in the poses by introducing the use of props. Due to his own physical challenges he created several props that helped him and others to achieve perfection in the poses. His method emphasizes the standing poses to develop strength, stability, stamina, concentration and body alignment. The use the props enhances the learning process and gives support if the person needs it. His method is safe and widely respected in the therapeutic field.
