All About Iyengar Yoga

Описание: Yoga instructor + wellness educator, Sofi Villella Claussen, teaches us about Iyengar Yoga today!
⁠
Developed by B.K.S. Iyengar, this method is all about precise alignment, mindful movement, slower pacing, and the use of props to make yoga accessible.

So, what makes Iyengar unique?⁠
• ⁠Focus on detailed alignment
•⁠ Props (blocks, straps, walls) to support all bodies⁠
•⁠ Slower pacing, longer pose holds
•⁠ Sequencing that prepares the body for deeper postures⁠
•⁠ Therapeutic benefits for injury recovery + stress relief⁠
⁠
Breathing plays a key role, too! 💨⁠ The practice of Iyengar Yoga often incorporates Ujjayi Pranayama (Victorious Breath)—a steady, ocean-like breath that calms the nervous system and helps regulate energy (prana) throughout the body.

Iyengar Yoga teaches us that small adjustments can make a big difference. ⁠
