Iyengar yoga is an ancient practise rooted in the traditional teachings of Patanjali and his Yoga sutras. BKS Iyengar, a renowned yoga practitioner and teacher, developed a disciplined and research-based approach to yoga. The Iyengar method focuses on precision and alignment, planned sequencing, timing in the practise, and the use of props. These characteristics make Iyengar yoga accessible and beneficial for individuals of all backgrounds and physical abilities.
Mr Iyengar's book, “Light on Yoga,” published in 1966, remains a modern classic on the subject and further explores the principles and practises of Iyengar yoga.
Croydon Yoga Studio is a place where individuals can explore the transformative power of Iyengar yoga in a supportive and nurturing environment. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, the studio offers a range of classes and workshops to help you develop strength, clarity, and stability of mind. Join Croydon Yoga Studio today and embark on a journey of self-discovery and well-being.
