Iyengar Yoga

Iyengar is a slow, precise style of yoga in which you hold each pose for a while and focus on careful alignment. Props such as belts, blocks and blankets help you work at your own level. It is named after its founder, the Indian yoga teacher B.K.S. Iyengar. There is some evidence, mostly from back and neck pain studies that used Iyengar yoga, of small, short-term benefits: see “Iyengar yoga: what the research says”.
