Iyengar Yoga

Iyengar Yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga developed and popularized by B.K.S. Iyengar. It is known for detailed instruction that challenges all levels of students, as well as for variations that make yoga poses accessible to everyone.

Yoga is for everyone. You need not be an expert or at the peak of physical fitness to practice the asanas. Yoga helps to integrate the mental and the physical plane, bringing about a sense of inner and outer balance.”
– B.K.S. Iyengar
