Yoga
Postures

- Forward bends- stretch & extend the rear part of your body. They prepare the body to go further and bring consistency and evenness in the development of physical and mental calmness.
- Inverted asanas- recover from the strains and stresses of everyday life and nurture vitality, mental balance, and emotional stability.
- Abdominal twisting asanas- tone and massage your abdominal muscles and strengthen you pelvic and lumber area. With twisting asanas you will envigorate your spine, tone your internal organs and achieve greater tranquillity.
- Backbend asanas- with these exercises you will develop physical sharpness and alertness. Your anterior spine is stretched and the effect is invigorating and enlightening.
- Supine asanas- recover from fatigue and strain, and prepare mentally and physically for pranayama.
The world's most widely practised method of yoga is that taught by Yogacharya Sri B.K.S. Iyengar (India 1918-2014). He has studied and practised Yoga continuously for over 70 years.
Iyengar's thorough study, understanding and mastery of yoga are unrivalled in modern times. Having taught in all five continents, he has won worldwide respect and recognition for his achievements and has made yoga accessible and relevant to people everywhere, no matter what their physical or mental ability.
