The Iyengar Yoga is the method of yoga practicing those who follow the teaching of the master BKS Iyengar , who, along with his children Geeta S. Iyengar and Prashant S. Iyengar , directs the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune ( ).
The term Iyengar Yoga was coined by the students of Iyengar to differentiate their teaching of other existing schools of yoga, while the master himself downplays that name, saying that what he practiced and taught is simply yoga following the tradition of the yoga sutras of Patanjali .
The essential feature of Iyengar Yoga is the intensity with which attention has to be kept in mind when addressing the practice of asana (postures), pranayama (discipline of breathing) and pratyahara (attitude of introversion of the sense organs), three of the eight stages of yoga described by Patanjali, which, together with the observation of yama and niyama (moral precepts and ethical disciplines that make up the first two stages) lead the practitioner to dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation) and samadhi (state higher consciousness), the last three stages described by Patanjali, which represent the result of the practice of the top five.
Thus, the eight stages of Patanjala-yoga are immersed in teaching BKS Iyengar, although the emphasis placed on the stages of practice ( asana and pranayama ), whose technique, based on the alignment and the perception of this has led Iyengar to its highest level of refinement and development. 1 2 the purpose of the teacher is to provide an instrument mental anchorage in the various actions and movements that must be observed in the execution of each position and each pranayama , to achieve mental transformation necessary without which the practice of meditation is not possible. As this process is long (many years of assiduous practice), it has emerged the error that meditation is not part of Iyengar Yoga and that this is a purely physical form of yoga.
