IYENGAR YOGA 

Developed by yoga master B.K.S. Iyengar more than 60 years ago, Iyengar yoga promotes strength, flexibility, 

endurance and balance through coordinated breathing and poses that require precise body alignment. Equipment like 

blankets, straps and blocks help the less flexible and also distinguishes Iyengar from other types of yoga. Although 

Iyengar incorporates the traditional postures, or asanas, that make up the broader category of hatha yoga, the props 

revolutionized yoga by enabling everyone – even the elderly, sick, and disabled, to practice. Because of its slow pace, 

attention to detail, and use of props, Iyengar yoga can be especially good if you’re recovering from an injury. 

No class July 3.
