Iyengar yoga is a meditative, precise, and challenging kind of yoga that aims to awaken and realign body and mind through sequences that follow a narrative structure, across each class and across the whole workshop. It differs from other forms of yoga in its precision, and in its extensive use of props that permit advanced asanas even by novice practitioners.
