Iyengar yoga is accessible to anyone. Regular practice increases suppleness, strength and stamina, improves posture and concentration and quietens the mind to promote well-being. The technique emphasises precision and alignment, and quality of movement is prioritised over quantity. You learn to move with ease in your body while working within your limitations. This makes the postures (asanas) safe to perform. Iyengar yoga has been described as meditation in action. Practising the postures with awareness has an integrating effect and works to harmonise mind and body. Postures are held for longer than in some other styles, allowing tight muscles to lengthen and relax, and helping to focus awareness. Props, such as blankets, blocks and belts, may be used to improve your understanding of poses or to help if you have difficulties. Shirin Marshall's Saturday class is open to all Iyengar yoga practitioners with a minimum of 6 months regular practise of Iyengar yoga.
