Iyengar Yoga is a way of teaching yoga developed by B.K.S. Iyengar, one of the people most instrumental in bringing yoga to the West. Iyengar traces his practice to ashtanga yoga as expounded in the sutras of the philosopher and sage Patanjali.

Emphasis in this yoga practice centers on alignment, posture and stability. Yoga can be practiced by anyone regardless of age or physical condition.

"When I practice, I am a philosopher.
When I teach, I am a scientist.
