The use of props is a specific contribution of B.K.S.IYENGAR\u00ae<\/b><\/strong><\/p>

to Yoga: the practice room is fully equipped with the same supports as the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute.<\/p>

For his own use, and especially since many Westerners flocked to his Institute in Pune, BKS IYENGAR\u00ae<\/b><\/strong><\/p>

has developed a sophisticated system of supports: straps, bricks, bolsters, benches, chairs, blankets, ropes, clean to facilitate the work of stiff bodies, simply tired, or for specific therapeutic applications.
All these tools have targeted uses according to the difficulties of the person and the goal sought. These are not gadgets for postural recipes.<\/p>

Learning in the use of media is a significant part of Iyengar teacher training to be able to integrate into their classes people of all ages and all physical conditions without any risk. In addition, they help to awaken sensations in certain parts of the body and guide the understanding of the direction and essence of a posture.<\/p>

A recovery is made today of the use of these supports in other schools of yoga, by people who teach without having followed the curriculum, without really having learned to use it properly, and while not recognizing their origin which is detrimental and sometimes dangerous. A great personal practice and a fine understanding of the adjustments are essential to their application.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

K. S. Iyengar became his own teacher and first student; in the tradition of Ha\u1e6dha Yoga, B.K.S. IYENGAR\u00ae<\/b><\/strong> particularly emphasized the practice of \u0100sanas \u2013\u00a0the postures of yoga<\/strong>, and that of Pr\u0101\u1e47ay\u0101ma.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
