Iyengar Yoga

Iyengar yoga is a method of hatha yoga which was developed (and continues to evolve) from the lifelong dedicated practice of its creator, BKS Iyengar. It is recognized for its exploration of poses as they relate to our physical, emotional and psychological nature.

The Yoga Co-op offers classes to guide students in their study of Iyengar yoga. Classes include asanas (poses) carefully arranged to help each student develop strength, stamina, flexibility, and balance, as well as a sense of well-being.

Physical alignment is important, so props are used to help students practice asanas safely. Props help students increase their range of motion, their time working in each pose, and their confidence and understanding of the pose.

Yoga practice is all-inclusive! By bringing every cell of the body to attention in each pose, we are able to fully live in the present.
