From Ann Pizer, your Guide to Yoga
Yoga great B.K.S. Iyengar died last week at the age of 95. His influence on how yoga is practiced today is profound. Iyengar was one of the first teachers to have western students and travel outside of India to teach yoga. The yoga that he introduced was his own method, influenced by his training with T. Krishnamacharya, but with many innovations that we now consider standard practice. Let's take a look at Iyengar's yoga style and legacy.

 

What is Iyengar Yoga?
Even if you've never taken an Iyengar class, you've probably experienced the effects of his method. Iyengar tried to make yoga accessible through the ample use of props. In fact, most of the common props you see in yoga studios, such as blocks, straps, and blankets, are innovations borrowed from Iyengar.
