ABOUT IYENGAR YOGA
Mr.BKS.Iyengar has devoted his life to developing a scientific system of the eight fold path of yoga practice. Described worldwide as the Michalangelo or the Pope of the Yoga world, he will celebrate his 90th birthday in 2008 and continues to practice, write and teach on a daily basis. For asana practice the system is defined by focus on -
......Precision and alignment
...... Sequencing
...... Timing
..........The use of supports
...... making it accesable to all!!!
The work of Mr.Iyengar is based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Pantanjali was believed to have lived sometime around 500bc and was the first to commit the knowledge of the ancient system of yoga to writing.
Yoga means union. It is a method of attaining union with our innermost Self, accomplished by restraint of our restless mind.
Iyengar yoga aims at developing clear and conscious attention, bringing Consciousness to each and every part of the body in order to explore the effects of the mind on the body and the body on the mind!
Iyengar yoga refines the body as our instrument to express our being.
A mindful asana practice guided by experienced teachers will assist us to tune to our individual resonance and harmony as we play this instrument ...... our body.
"If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading."
