What is "Iyengar Yoga"?

 Yogacharya BKS Iyengar of Pune, India developed this style of yoga to make yoga accessible to all so that the benefits of practice could be shared. He practised and taught yoga for almost 80 years, across all five continents and is credited with bringing yoga to the West. 
​I have been fortunate to attend classes with Abhijata Iyengar, (BKS Iyengar’s Grandaughter) at the British Yoga Convention in 2014 and with Geeta Iyengar, (his daughter) in Pune, India in 2015.     

Iyengar Yoga practice

Iyengar yoga is a safe, systematic and precise method, developed to progress students from their first class as a beginner and supports them as they unlock the many benefits of yoga for themselves.

​Iyengar yoga uses equipment or props to enable every students to access these benefits regardless of their age, physical condition or flexibility and to support those with injuries or medical conditions to practise safely.
