About the Yoga
We teach Iyengar yoga based on the traditional method of BKS Iyengar, a Master teacher of 92 years of age. The Iyengar yoga guides students with precious instructions and details work the body as a whole based on the anatomical structure and function of the body. Emphasis on standing, inverted, forward bends, backbends, twist, and restorative with the use of props to assure optimal health, allowing students to work within their limitation. Our goal is to bring awareness to the whole body, respect your personal limitation to avoid injury the use of props guides you into the asana (posture) until you have reached flexibility to safely perform the asana.

ASANA (pose’s posture)
Asana is an ancient practice of movement for the whole body forming poses to develop strength, flexibility, balance and stamina at the same time developing sensitive to the movement of the body, awareness, courage, and compassion.

Progress will be made only through frequent practice to maintain the quality of the effects of each asana, more flexibility, stamina, reduce stress and develop strength.
Most reasons for not practicing:
- lack of time
- lack of space and facitilites
- lack of self-discipline to practice alone
- lack of advisory support from a teacher

Ask your instructor for a list of asana’s to practice at your level. Your personal practice should be a choice and a chore.
