What is Iyengar Yoga?
Iyengar yoga is a form of yoga that emphasizes alignment and precise movement. It is named after its founder, B.K.S. Iyengar, and is sometimes also called “Iyengar alignment yoga.”
Iyengar yoga is known for its use of props, such as belts, blocks, and blankets, which are used to help students achieve proper alignment. The props also make the practice accessible to people of all ages and abilities.
Iyengar yoga can be a good choice for people who are looking for a more gentle practice, or for those who want to focus on alignment and precision in their yoga practice.

This session is dedicated to the practice of the Inverted poses, Adho Mukha Vrksasana, Sirsasana & Sarvangasana (Handstand, Head and Shoulder stand).
In general, and as far as yoga is concerned, spending some time upside down is a way to boost all the major systems of the body (circulatory, respiratory, nervous and glandular) whilst giving your heart a rest.
Handstand and Headstand are the more stimulating and invigorating of the inverted poses. They help to increase physical strength, memory and concentration and enhances mental capacity and emotional stability.
Shoulder stand is the more nurturing of the inversions. It has a cooling and quietening effect and can assist glandular and hormonal health.
Once developed the inverted poses work together on all the bodies systems to bring balance and strength physical, physiologically and mentally.
