Iyengar Yoga
Precise alignment of the muscles, bones and joints describes the main
focus of Iyengar yoga. Rather than moving quickly through the poses
as in the Ashtanga practice, Iyengar students take more time, and often
use props to align their bodies into its ideal positioning. Poses are
then held, often for many minutes.

Moving through Sun Salutations, with moments for pause and reflection, this technique is described as slow flow. Leave refreshed after time for self-reflection and mindful practice.

in a unique & varied sequence. Not recommended for beginners.

Suitable for all levels yet can prove challenging due to the long duration of the poses.
