The system that has come to be known as 'Iyengar
yoga' was developed by the world-renowned teacher
B.K.S. Iyengar. Mr Iyengar has evolved precise asana
(posture) and pranayama (breathing) techniques based
on the principles of Patanjali and many, many, years
of practice.
The Iyengar system helps individuals to make progress
according to their own abilities, and is a methodical,
progressive inclusive approach, emphasising detailed
correctness and absolute safety. To enable safe progress
Mr Iyengar has developed the use of props such as
foam blocks, wooden bricks, blankets and belts (all
provided at the Institute), which help support the
body in the different postures to improve ability
in a safe manner.
