The Iyengar method
The Iyengar method is based on the teaching of Yoga according to B.K.S. Iyengar.
Health for the body, peace for the mind
The Asanas develop strength and flexibility. In particular they relieve back pain, help all the organs to function well and they improve the digestive and circulatory systems.
The postures also bring relief from stress and fatigue and create the conditions to promote deep relaxation.
Pranayama is the art of extending and controlling the breath. It brings greater vitality and mental balance and improves concentration.
According to Yoga philosophy, human beings are made up of body, mind and soul. The soul, ever serene, is the infinite part that dwells within every being.
Meditation in action
Postures and regulation of the breath are two essential disciplines in the practice of Yoga. They bring body and mind into contact with the light of the soul to find inner peace.
An art
Yoga brings grace, beauty and firmness. The body is freed from tensions by stretching and movement. The breathing can become deep and even. Uniting spirit and body, the practitioner learns the art of observation. The intelligence and powers of perception are enhanced.
A practice accessible to everyone
The teaching of Iyengar Yoga is progressive and safe.
A system of props or supports can help the student to achieve the poses better.
Children, adolescents, the elderly…Yoga can be practised at every stage of life, including during pregnancy. However general public classes are not suitable for some conditions, so therapeutic classes may be indicated.
