Iyengar yoga classes in Melbourne focus on precision by paying close attention to anatomical details and alignment of each posture. Poses are held for long periods and often modified with props to make it easy for beginners. This style of yoga is designed to systematically cultivate strength, flexibility, stability and awareness.
Like all forms of yoga, Iyengar yoga also combines physical poses with deep breathing and meditation. Props like blocks, pillows, chairs, straps and bolsters are used in this style of yoga to provide support and help to students. These props would help learners by giving balance, stretch and attain perfect alignment in each pose.
This style of yoga also involves performing certain poses in a sequence to maximize its benefits. The poses can be standing, seated, lying or may involve bends, twists or inversions.
