There are so many different styles of yoga that it


becomes difficult for the practitioners to choose one, let
alone the newbies. Not all yoga styles are the same, some
styles can appear completely different from the
other.  Some yoga enthusiasts like to hop around and
learn different styles whereas some like to progress with
one or two specific forms of yoga. If you are willing to try
a form of yoga that fulfils your physical, mental as well as
emotional needs then Iyengar yoga is the most desirable
choice.
What is Iyengar Yoga?

Founded by  B.K.S. Iyengar,  Iyengar Yoga  is a form of  Hatha


Yoga, that emphasizes precision and alignment while
performing the asanas. This style of yoga focuses on the quality
of the moves rather than the quantity. Thus it is a safe style of
yoga that one can perform as the body adapts to the yoga
poses gradually.This style of Hatha yoga pays extreme attention
to physical positioning. Many types of props such as belts,
straps, blocks and blankets are used to help stay longer in
postures and improves the alignment of the body.
What makes the Iyengar yoga method so unique?

All styles of yoga practice come with their own set of merits.
Nevertheless, this creation of hatha yoga provides us with a
clear and upright methodology – always infusing positive force
throughout our body to build an integrated, well-balanced
system. Though Iyengar yoga typically focuses on paying
attention to precision, detail, body alignment and prop practice,
it has a lot to offer
Structured Form

Iyengar yoga  is a very structured form of yoga as it


progresses gradually, learning the fundamentals before
attempting more challenging postures. The newcomers
begin with the standing yoga postures and are slowly
introduced to the sitting and lying yoga poses, forward
extensions, twists and backbends.
Tones your body

As you hold the poses a little longer it gives a good stretch to


your muscles and also helps you tone your body and build
strength. As Iyengar yoga involves the entire body, the attention is
paid not just primarily to the muscles but also on how they are
related to other parts of the body to benefit them all. Thus it is a
complete body toning experience that you cannot miss! 
Calms your Mind

As Iyengar Yoga mainly concentrates on the body alignment,


as soon as you perform an asana or pose, you disregard all
other thoughts in your mind. You can consider it as a kind of
meditation and just like meditation, the longer you practice it,
the more relaxed your mind will be.
Safe to perform

Iyengar yoga involves the systematic progression of yoga


poses to improve each individual’s strength and experience.
Quality of the postures is always the priority thus once stability
has been achieved in a pose, it slowly progresses with the
intensity of the posture. Its systematic and progressive
approach makes it one of the safest forms of yoga to be
performed.
