Precision is in the correct placement of the different body parts and in the detail of instructions given on how and what to move.
Alignment is the ‘inner feeling’ of balance and ease you get when your bones, muscles and joints align.
Timing: It is equally important to go into a pose, stay in a pose and come out of a pose, thoughtfully.
Props: the use of props is one of the a hall marks of Iyengar Yoga; this is not to relax or be lazy but to get the pose to work.
Dynamic extension means that you stretch out in all directions; the body both elongating and expanding at the same time. The actions are outwards from the spine and start from a firm base.
Gravity puts us in contact with our spine. Below the waist we gravitate downward to stay in contact with earth and above the waist we lift, elongate and expand. Using the breath as a tool for grounding and getting taller, wider and to relax into each pose.
Advantages of practicing yoga:- Yoga is a way of life, it changes you and therefore changes the way you relate to other people. Every day activities improve and you become more proficient. When the body opens so too does the heart and balance is restored.
.
In classes, both verbal and physical adjustments are given as needed … these help you to ‘feel‘ the correct position of the body in each asana.
