Slowly, I began to realize that I could not go back and force things to be as they once were: those two years, which up until then had seemed an endless inferno, were now beginning to show me their true meaning.â â Paulo Coelho, The Zahir
Iyengar yoga is a type of Hatha yoga and was developed by B.K.S. Iyengar. Based on the eight limbs of yoga as described in Patanjaliâs Yoga Sutras, it emphasizes the precise physical alignment of the body within particular postures. Iyengar yoga is a disciplined system with carefully planned and timed sequences. Often, props, such as blocks and belts, are used to ensure students can practice the postures with correct alignment and safely develop their yoga practice over time.
Nirodha is a Sanskrit term meaning cessation or removal.. The great sage Patanjali used this term in his legendary definition of yoga in the second sutra of the Yoga Sutras: âyoga-citta-vritti-nirodha,â which can be translated as âyoga is the removal of the fluctuations of the mind.â.
