Each body has its own unique strengths and challenges. The props and modifications used in Iyengar practice allow us each to experience the asana in the way best adapted for our bodies.

BUILD YOUR POSE FROM THE BASE
Create a stable foundation with the part of the body in contact with the floor - in standing poses this is usually the feet - and work upwards from there, giving attention to each part of the body in ascending order.

This week we focus on standing and balancing poses.
