Developed by B. K. S. Iyengar, Iyengar Yoga uses asana and pranayama as vehicles to access all physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of yoga as described in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. It is characterized by great attention to detail, using directed awareness and precise body alignment to gain maximum benefit from each asana with minimum risk. Mr. Iyengar pioneered the use of props such as bolsters, blankets, benches, blocks, straps, and weights as therapeutic tools to enhance and enable the practice of yoga for all types of students, including those with physical limitations and to allow tired or ill students to also enjoy the benefits of the poses. This workshop will introduce you to the foundations of Iyengar yoga therapeutics and provide the knowledge for you to confidently employ the therapeutic use of props in your teaching and healing practices. $75
