About Iyengar Yoga ~ Iyengar Yoga is for EVERYBODY!
No one is too stiff, too out of shape, too large, too thin, too weak, or too old for Iyengar Yoga.
Using physical alignment as a starting point, Iyengar Yoga encourages the spread of intelligence throughout the body, the growth of self-awareness, and an experience of the asanas (postures) as a form of “meditation in action.” Certified Iyengar Yoga Teachers know how to guide students of all ages and abilities. A deep-seated understanding and experience of the asanas (postures) allow instructors to teach appropriately to the group in front of them, whether they are younger, older, athletic, or have physical limitations.

Why should I start doing Iyengar Yoga?
​
There are many mental and physical benefits of doing yoga that makes it worth trying. For one, it can decrease stress and relieve anxiety. Studies prove that yoga reduces the secretion of cortisol, which is the primary stress hormone. Studies also found that yoga may help protect against certain diseases caused by chronic inflammation, as well as improve heart health by lowering blood pressure. Further, yoga can help improve quality of life by helping with mood, fatigue, and even pain. Case studies show that yoga increases the secretion of melatonin, which is a hormone that regulates sleep and wakefulness. Finally, yoga is excellent for your physical strength and abilities. Yoga can increase strength by building muscle and endurance. Yoga can also help with breathing because we practice breathing techniques during yoga sessions.
​
Further, yoga helps significantly with flexibility and balance. Experts find that practicing yoga for just 15-30 minutes every day can show significant results. Through practicing mindfulness and focusing on your body, yoga can even promote healthy eating habits.
