Iyengar Yoga
Iyengar is a form of hatha yoga that focuses on proper alignment and precise technique. Through slower movements and an emphasis on quality over quantity, Iyengar yoga combines asanas (poses) and pranayama (breath) to build strength, stamina, and flexibility.
Founded by B.K.S. Iyengar in the 1960s (and later popularized with his book, Light on Yoga), Iyengar yoga is based on the yoga sutras and works to strengthen the connection between body and mind. "Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured," Iyengar once said. He believed that a balanced body led to a balanced mind—hence Iyengar yoga's unique blend of both meditation and movement.
