Classical (lyengar) Yoga

An Iyengar yoga class is a meticulous and precise exploration of yoga postures. Named after its founder, B.K.S. Iyengar, this style focuses on alignment, form, and holding poses with exactness. Classes often involve the use of props like blocks, straps, and blankets to help students attain proper alignment and deepen their practice. With a strong emphasis on breath control (pranayama) and sustained poses (asanas), practitioners gradually develop strength, flexibility, and heightened body awareness. The attention to detail in Iyengar classes fosters a mindful, meditative experience, making it accessible and beneficial for practitioners of all levels.
