Iyengar was sickly since childhood. At first, he practiced hatha yoga to keep healthy, which once reached a high level. When he was about 60 years old, Iyengar experienced a car accident, and the serious injury made him unable to do even the simplest posture. Nine years later, with extraordinary perseverance and hard work, Iyengar finally recovered. Iyengar deeply realized the pain of illness and the magical healing effect brought by yoga, and thus created the famous Iyengar yoga system with therapeutic effect. Iyengar yoga is recognized as the most exquisite posture practice method, which can coordinate the body balance and has a good effect on the treatment of diseases.

To practice Iyengar yoga, we need to pay special attention to the details of various parts of the body and be good at using various auxiliary props. This kind of course is set slowly and moderately. The stability of posture can promote deep breathing, and the concentration of consciousness can enhance mental strength.

Suitable for: people with hard body, patients and people recovering after operation.

Many people have recovered their health by practicing Iyengar yoga, but if they have no patience, they will feel too bored.

Features: All kinds of dazzling auxiliary props are the biggest difference between Iyengar yoga and traditional yoga. Many of these postures should be done with wood blocks, benches, sandbags, blankets, pillows, cloth belts and other auxiliary tools, which can also increase the range of movements. It also makes many seemingly unreachable movements no longer complicated, thus benefiting students of different physical degrees.

Note: Iyengar yoga is famous for its safety and slowness, which can temper your impatience. However, as many yogis have pointed out, one of the bad consequences of relying too much on equipment and props is to cultivate people's lazy consciousness and neglect the improvement of physical fitness. Therefore, when learning this yoga system, we should tap the potential of the body as much as possible and finally throw away the tools instead of relying on it for life.
