What is Iyengar yoga?

It is a safe, systematic presentation of poses to develop the student's ability both within a class and from class to class.

It emphasizes the standing poses to develop strength, stamina, concentration, and body alignment.

It uses props, such as blankets, blocks and belts, to facilitate learning and adjust poses to an individual's needs.

It teaches the poses with the precise use of language, demonstration, specific points of action in a pose, and individual instruction of students.

It provides instruction to ease various ailments and stress.
