Iyengar Yoga*
"Light on Yoga"
Iyengar’s famous encyclopedic, "Light on Yoga", was published in 1966 with a forward written by Menhuin. Here is an excerpt from the preface:
"It [Yoga] is a technique ideally suited to prevent physical and mental illness and to protect the body generally, developing an inevitable sense of self-reliance and assurance. By its very nature it is inextricably associated with universal laws: for respect for life,truth, and patience are all indispensable factors in the drawing of a quiet breath, in calmness of mind and firmness of will." ("Light on Yoga", Schocken Books, 1966 p12)
Precision
Iyengar Yoga is known for precision, alignment and a focus on individual postures and their therapeutic benefits.
Alignment
Props enable students of varying levels to receive the maximum benefits of each “asana” by aiming for proper alignment rather than completed poses.
Systematic
Iyengar Yoga follows a truly systematic approach in its teaching of the postures leading the student to advanced levels of practice. Ramon Clares directs our Iyengar Yoga style program.
Pranayama
Yoga Center offers classes in the Iyengar Yoga style as well as Pranayama in the tradition of BKS Iyengar. Pranayama focuses on yogic breathing in seated and supine poses that promote quiet, an inward focus and a salve to the internal organs, the nerves and the consciousness.
B.K.S.Iyengar
B.K.S. Iyengar was the creator and disseminator of this style. Its origins can be traced to a family of orthodox Brahmins of Tamilnadu, known as the "Iyengars", who are devotees of Lord Vishnu and his consort Laksmi. The teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar first became known in the West in 1954.
