BKS Iyengar

*O que é yoga?

​

Yoga is one of the oldest traditions of self-development, originating in India thousands of years ago. The Sanskrit word yoga means union, referring to the integration of body, mind and awareness.


My teaching follows the Iyengar Yoga tradition, internationally recognised for its emphasis on precise alignment, the intelligent use of props and the safe adaptation of postures to each individual.

 


Rather than focusing on performance, Iyengar Yoga encourages stability, mobility, strength, body awareness and mindful attention, making the practice accessible to people of different ages and physical conditions.


​

The best way to understand Yoga is through experience.
