Iyengar- This type of yoga was introduced by B.K.S. Iyengar. This style stands out because of the use of props (belts, blocks, cushions, benches, sandbags) as an aid to students to allow them to experience asanas earlier than they normally would, without years of practice. Iyengar is a type of Hatha and focuses heavily on structural alignment of the body through the development of asanas to gain stamina, flexibility concentration and balance. Unlike other styles where students are encouraged to "find their way" by copying the yogi's asanas, in iyengar the class is very verbal and precise with misalignments being pointed out and corrected. This style is very well known for being a good match for the ill, tired, depressed, insomniacs and chronic pain sufferers.
