Yoga
means union — of the body, mind and spirit. The main goal
of yoga is freedom from suffering. This ancient meditative
discipline uses the body as a tool for self discovery and
transformation, uncovering the universal spirit within us
all. This exploration begins by toning the body and
quieting the mind. It is a balance between activity,
reflection, and relaxation. As the body and mind become
stronger and more flexible, mental focus and inner
awareness increase. This promotes health and well-being
and reduces suffering.
The Iyengar style of Hatha yoga was developed by
B.K.S.Iyengar of Pune, India. This approach emphasizes
correct alignment with the use of props (blocks, belts,
blankets) and the use of yoga for therapeutic purposes.
