Why Iyengar Yoga?
In a nutshell:
One of the most brilliant features of this type of yoga practice is ANYONE can do it. The practice can be adapted to all kinds of situations. You can be "stiff as a board", feeling great, pregnant, anxious, tired, wired, injured...you name it, you can be accommodated. The use of props and a number of creative approaches makes this accessible to all. Krisna gives pose options in the regular classes for common challenges and will customize the best approach for your needs and goals.
From lesson to lesson you will find that we build on previous skills and awarenesses. You'll not just do a "repeat performance" of what you did last class —you will get the reinforcement of the foundation and gradually increase your flexibility, stamina and stability. New content is injected into each lesson, so you will continue to open new inner vistas! The subject of Yoga is vast. This is more than just exercise — you'll find that you also build emotional strength to weather the storms of life and sharpen mental clarity with consistent practice.
Some of us have become disconnected with our body and the present moment, which leaves us feeling uninspired and exhausted. The practice of yoga refreshes the awareness of the present moment, getting out of the past and the future and into the body NOW. You'll refresh your appreciation for this body and this life by working with what you've got, moment to moment. This brings physical rejuvenation—you feel good! The cells of the body have a chance to REALLY live before they die! Who doesn't want mental/emotional refreshment , a clear head and a warm heart? Exhale...and stress dissolves.
