Iyengar Yoga

The followiong excerpt is from Mr. Iyengar's public website. I used this as there is no way I could describe this man with any better words. I can to be aquainted to this style through Rosa Lopez, Rodney Yee, Colleen Saidman Yee and Richard Rosen.

Iyengar Yoga Sage Patanjali, who has penned this subject in his treatise Yoga Darshana defines yoga as chitta vritti nirodha. Chitta is the consciousness which includes the mind, the intellect and the ego. Yoga is a method of silencing the vibrations of the chitta.

The eight aspects (astanga) of yoga are :

Yama and niyama
Asanas
Pranayama
Pratyahara
Dharana
Dhyana
Samadhi

Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar with his intellectual and spiritual practices has masterminded the techniques which can be used by all practitioners of yoga. "Research based experience" and "experience based research" has helped him in evolving this technique which is now known as"Iyengar Yoga". He has therefore made it possible for ordinary human beings to experience the wisdom of the yoga sutras.Iyengar yoga is meant for all and is a way of life. The use of props, designed by Guruji , such as wooden gadgets, belts, ropes helps the practitioner to achieve perfection in any asana. Regular practice of 'Iyengar Yoga' definitely integrates the body, mind and emotions.
