Yoga instructor + wellness educator, Sofi Villella Claussen, teaches us about Iyengar Yoga today! Developed by B.K.S. Iyengar, this method is all about precise alignment, mindful movement, slower pacing, and the use of props to make yoga accessible. So, what makes Iyengar unique? • Focus on detailed alignment • Props (blocks, straps, walls) to support all bodies • Slower pacing, longer pose holds • Sequencing that prepares the body for deeper postures • Therapeutic benefits for injury recovery + stress relief Breathing plays a key role, too! 💨 The practice of Iyengar Yoga often incorporates Ujjayi Pranayama (Victorious Breath)—a steady, ocean-like breath that calms the nervous system and helps regulate energy (prana) throughout the body. Iyengar Yoga teaches us that small adjustments can make a big difference. Have you tried it?
