Iyengar Yoga Immersion ~ A Therapeutic Yoga Practice

With Phyllis Rollins, Certified Iyengar Yoga Instructor

This training is a strong complimentary training for a current Yoga Instructor of any style, especially for those interested in yoga therapeutics. It is also for the student who is looking for a more in depth perspective and appreciation of the practice of Iyengar Yoga.

What is Iyengar Yoga?

Iyengar Yoga, named after and developed by B. K. S. Iyengar, is a form of Hatha Yoga that has an emphasis on detail, precision and alignment in the performance of posture (asana) and breath control (pranayama). The development of strength, mobility and stability is gained through the asanas.

B.K.S. Iyengar has systematized over 200 classical yoga poses and 14 different types of Pranayama (with variations of many of them) ranging from the basic to advanced. This helps ensure that students progress gradually by moving from simple poses to more complex ones and develop their mind, body and spirit step-by-step.

Iyengar Yoga often, but not always, makes use of props, such as belts, blocks, and blankets, as aids in performing asanas (postures). The props enable students to perform the asanas correctly, minimizing the risk of injury or strain, and making the postures accessible to both young and old.

Iyengar Yoga is firmly based on the traditional eight limbs of yoga as expounded by Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras.   Source: Wikipedia

This training will include:

• Standing Poses: With a focus on looking and mirroring as an instructor, creating an opportunity for the person who is observing the pose to feel in their body what the person doing the pose is actually experiencing.
• Evolve and Reveal the Poses: Change the pose in your own body , then evolve the pose in the other person.
• Progression and Advancement of the Poses with the use of props. Learn how to integrate props into your practice and that of your students to enhance alignment.
• Inversions and Restorative Focus: Getting started moving ahead, whether you are new to inversions or experienced, learn an approach which helps you expand your inversion practice. Enjoy restorative poses as a compliment to an intense practice.
• Back Extensions: Finding strength in the pose through integration of the legs, empowering you to new openings.
• Forward Bends: Folding it Up and Wrapping it Up: Make a Neat Package. Calm the body and turn inwards as you practice forward bends the Iyengar Way.
