Iyengar Hatha Yoga is based on the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar, a living Indian Yoga Master. He has done more than anyone ever has in perfecting the science of yoga and in increasing its therapeutic application. His approach is characterized by the innovative use of props (which he designed himself) to make the poses available to everyone regardless of their limitations. His vigorous approach also involves meticulous attention to detail and precision in performing the positions thereby maximizing their safety and therapeutic value
