Why Is Iyengar The Best Yoga For Beginners?

As a beginner, the first step is just getting started. But it’s also important that you have access to teachers and information that will set you on the right path. The careful and considered pace that you’ll find most classes run at is great for those just finding their feet in their practice. You won’t find that you’re expected to do advanced poses, produce dynamic movements, or dive deep into stretches that are simply unattainable at first.

Iyengar yoga is the ideal choice for students seeking to build their practice in a systematic and methodical way – much as you might learn a new language or musical instrument. You will learn to practice yoga and understand your body, not just run through a few poses. It is from this foundational base that you will later find you are able to build a diverse repertoire of sequences to practice.

A typical beginner Iyengar yoga session will see you coached through only a handful of poses and transitions. You’ll also often be encouraged to use props, which can be used to build strength and flexibility in a controlled way.
