The Method
His students have coined his method of teaching ‘Iyengar Yoga’.
It is an innovative style of teaching characterized by an alert practice, precise direction, alignment and depth. Emphasis is placed on meditation in action in the practice of asana (poses), while incorporating the science of sequencing and timing.
Clear and safe instructions guide one on a steady path for the practice of pranayama (regulation of the breath), leading one to meditative states.
Principles of yoga philosophy are inextricably linked to the teachings, bringing the effects of the practice accessible to daily life.
