Structured According to Capacity and Need

Iyengar Yoga is the most wholesome of Yoga methods. It has a very refined and developed Yoga postural practice. It is progressive and paced in such a way as to make poses available to everyone according to capacity and need.

The repertoire of poses is absolutely vast. No two Iyengar Yoga classes are the same!

A class can become a fast paced ‘jumping’ or vinyasa session, or it can slow down and focus on very specific body parts. Precision and alignment are always key.

A Tool for Self Development

Iyengar Yoga is grounded on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

B.K.S. Iyengar like no other has applied Yoga poses and Pranayama upon the teachings of Patanjali, as a tool for self-development.

yoga for kids and teens

Iyengar Yoga House offers a yoga practice that is specifically aimed at children and teenagers. Our classes encourage children to practice a full range of yoga poses in a dynamic and playful way.

Restorative

Iyengar Yoga has a longstanding tradition of restorative and recuperative sequences that should be practiced regularly, alongside a varied postural practice.

Pranayama

Iyengar Yoga includes Pranayama. After a steady and confident postural practice has been achieved, breathing techniques can be safely explored.
