Iyengar Yoga
Iyengar Yoga uses a systematic approach to the sequencing of asanas (the yoga postures).
This approach was developed by B.K.S. Iyengar, who was born in India in 1918 and still teaches alongside his daughter Geeta and son Prashant.
The system is methodical and progressive differing from other styles in it's precision to physical alignment. This is achieved by the use of props, where necessary, to aid the body in achieving the correct alignment.
