Yoga's origin can be traced back to more than 5,000 years ago, but some researchers believe that yoga may be up to 10,000 years old. The word 'Yoga' first appeared in the oldest sacred texts, the Rig Veda, and is derived from the Sanskrit root "Yuj" which means to unite. According to the Yoga Scriptures, the practice of yoga leads an individual to a union of consciousness with that of universal consciousness. It eventually leads to a great harmony between the human mind and body, man and nature.
I've made a complete series on all 10 types of yoga. This is Iyengar Yoga; others are also available!
Iyengar Yoga has its origin in India, though it is universal. Iyengar Yoga is for everyone. Iyengar Yoga is named after and founded by B.K.S. Iyengar, a direct disciple of T. Krishnamacharya. Iyengar yoga derives straight from the most ancient Hatha Yoga practice, but it has progressed into a very specific and clear method that is easily understood by modern practitioners. It is deeply embedded in the traditional eight limbs of yoga laid out by Patanjali in his famous treatise, The Yoga Sutras.
The Iyengar practice stresses the development of self-knowledge mainly through Asanas (yoga postures) and Pranayamas (yogic breathing). Attention is paid to the cultivation of alignment, stability, strength, endurance, flexibility, focus, and awareness. Iyengar Yoga provides a straightforward, grounded route to the holistic well-being of body, mind, and soul.
It is characterized by care and precision; it is systematic intelligence of the mind, body, and soul. It is perfect for studying the subtleties of the correct alignment of all ages and skills. It helps you become more mindful and self-conscious, both on and off your mat.
This yoga style is an effective and sophisticated technique that can be practiced at all stages in life. The advantages are far-reaching and can aid the practitioner in every area of daily life. Improvements in strength, flexibility, athletic conditioning, general activity, and stance are very common, as are noticeable improvements in vitality and mental clarity.
