Iyengar Yoga, named after and developed by B. K. S. Iyengar, focuses on alignment and physical awareness.
Classes at Yoga Whitianga are designed to help students achieve poses and hold them for longer, whether they are rehabbing from injury or dealing with weakness. The use of props, such as blocks and blankets, allows for safe and effective alignment, making yoga accessible to everyone.
The teachers at Yoga Whitianga are highly trained and have undergone a strict and in-depth three-year training programme. They continue to receive ongoing training and supervision, ensuring that they meet the standards set by the various Iyengar Associations worldwide. With their expertise, they guide students through sequences of poses that progressively open and balance the physical and emotional body.
One of the unique aspects of Iyengar Yoga is its emphasis on alignment, sequencing, and timing. Alignment helps students maintain the intended pose while respecting the body's boundaries. Props are encouraged to support students in achieving proper alignment without risking injury. The sequencing of poses is carefully planned to allow for a safe and structured progression, promoting balance and opening of both the physical and emotional body.
In Iyengar Yoga, poses are held for longer periods to deepen the stability, strength, and flexibility of the body.
