Iyengar yoga is a form of gentle yoga and focuses on performing each asana or posture with attention to alignment and breath control. By focusing on each asana (pose), it allows proper form and focus on breath control. Iyengar pays attention to breathing which helps to relieve stress and relax. When the body is balanced, the mind is too.
Iyengar yoga challenges you as you hold each pose for an extended period so you can adjust your body to the correct alignment. You will often have rests in child’s pose as this brings welcome relief to compliment the intensity of building stamina through balance and holding work. The rest periods do not mean this style of yoga is easy.
In this course, Jane will encourage all students to work to the best of their ability and not beyond their level or try to keep up with more practiced students.
Beginners will make the use of the props provided to help learn and practice the asanas properly.
