Iyengar Yoga at the Hidden Space
About Iyengar Yoga
The world's most widely practised method of Yoga is that taught by
Yogacharya Sri B.K.S. Iyengar of Pune, India. Born on December 14,
1918, in Bellur, India, he has studied and practised Yoga continuously
for over 70 years.
Iyengar's thorough study, understanding and mastery of Yoga are
unrivalled in modern times. Having taught in all five continents, he
has won worldwide respect and recognition for his achievements and has
made Yoga accessible and relevant to people everywhere, no matter what
their physical or mental ability.
Yoga is one of the oldest systems of personal development in the world.
This system of balancing the body, mind and spirit was formulated by
ancient yogis, who understood man's essential nature and realised a way
to utilise all of man's inner resources to live in harmony with himself
and the environment.
Pupils learn through a carefully graded and systematic programme of
asana (posture). Pranayama (breath control) is gradually introduced
once students have a firm foundation of yoga practise. Yoga practise
both relaxes and energizes the body and mind and brings vitality,
flexibility, strength, concentration, self-confidence and mental calm.
Yoga is suitable for all types of people and all levels of fitness.
The system of teaching is methodical and progressive, emphasising
detailed correctness and absolute safety. When necessary, it uses
supports called "props" that allow students to progress in their
practice of postures safely at their own pace, to suit their body.
Beginners work in a basic way on simple postures according to their
capabilities. As they develop they then move on to more refined ways of
working as well as to more complex postures.
Practising Yoga helps you overcome and prevent many stresses, strains,
aches and pains. It promotes a firm foundation for health and
well-being.
