Those who practice yoga remove the weeds from the body so that the garden can grow. (B.K.S. Iyengar)

Health with yoga

Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja Iyengar.

Iyengar yoga is one of the most famous hatha yoga styles in the world and was founded by the Indian yoga teacher B.K.S. Iyengar. Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja (B.K.S.) Iyengar was the founder of Iyengar Yoga and one of the greatest yoga masters in the world. He was born on December 14, 1918 in Bellur, Karnataka, India and dedicated his life to yoga at a young age.

During his decades of practice, he researched each yoga posture (asana) for proper alignment and effect and developed the yoga props. These enable the yoga practitioner to assume more difficult yoga poses (asanas) or to perceive simpler ones more precisely. B.K.S. Iyengar developed a style of yoga designed to allow all students to learn about their bodies in the various postures.

An Iyengar teacher brings enough knowledge and experience to adapt the asanas (yoga poses) to students with individual needs. This is mainly due to his intensive and highly qualified training in Iyengar yoga practice, anatomy, philosophy, pedagogy and psychology for at least three years and his yearly advanced training with world-renowned Iyengar yoga teachers.

Method according to B.K.S. Iyengar

Yoga according to B.K.S. Iyengar does not work primarily on the development of physical strength, but on the development of mental strength, concentration and mindfulness. For this he developed a yoga style that rests on 3 pillars.

Alignment: A very precise, fine-tuned work on a correct alignment of muscles, bones, joints, etc. to achieve an internal and external alignment that has a pleasant effect and leads from the technique in depth.

Sequence: The yoga exercises are sequenced so that you are prepared step by step for a particular, more complex asana. At the same time, the sequence of postures (standing postures, sitting postures, inverted postures, etc.) will strengthen and calm your nervous system, and you will be able to leave class feeling strengthened and calm.

Duration: In order for you to achieve a deep experience and effect, the exercises (with or without tools) are held for a certain amount of time.

Regenerative Yoga/Bodyscan

Regenerative yoga is a supplement to the classic yoga poses. In times of extreme stress and restlessness, restorative yoga poses can be very helpful. Regenerative asanas help to reduce stress and relax the body, mind and spirit.

You will learn to relax your body in special, simple exercises that are performed and held longer through the use of assistive devices.

You can focus entirely on your breath (pranayama) and quiet the restless thoughts. Once you have come to rest through conscious breathing, we begin a conscious journey through your body, the Bodyscan. Bodyscan is not about simply resting, but a journey through your body and its sensations performed with attention.
