Iyengar Yoga (200RYT®)

B.K.S. lyengar, often called the "father of modern yoga," developed lyengar Yoga, a method renowned for its emphasis on precise alignment and the use of props like blocks, straps, and bolsters to make poses accessible to practitioners of all levels. This approach allows for greater stability in poses, enhancing both physical strength and flexibility while reducing the risk of injury.

lyengar's techniques also focus on prolonged holding of poses, which builds endurance and mental clarity. His methods gained international recognition after famous violinist Yehudi Menuhin credited lyengar with significantly improving his performance through yoga.

The principles of lyengar Yoga continue to influence modern yoga practices worldwide, ensuring that practitioners benefit from its structured and supportive approach to achieving physical and mental well-being.
