Iyengar Yoga, named after Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja (B.K.S.) Iyengar,is a practice deeply rooted in the philosophy and tradition of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. B.K.S. Iyengar was one of the most influential yoga teachers of the 20th and 21st centuries, dedicating his life to the study and teaching of yoga. His approach emphasizes precise alignment of the body, mind, and soul in every asana (pose) to help practitioners fully experience each posture. A key feature of Iyengar Yoga is its use of props such as blocks, belts, and bolsters, which B.K.S. Iyengar introduced to make yoga accessible to everyone.He believed yoga should be inclusive, regardless of mobility, experience, age,or cultural background. Props allow practitioners to adapt poses, hold them longer, and achieve greater depth in their practice. Iyengar Yoga emphasizes on the importance of sequencing and regular practice (sadhana), where each pose builds on the previous one. Over time, consistent practice improves mobility, balance, strength, and consciousness, fostering a deeper connection between the individual soul and the Universal Soul, true toyoga's meaning, derived from the Sanskrit root "Yuj," which means"to join" or "to unite."
