Teenytinyom getting ready for his Iyengar yoga retreat
in Goa with Glenn Ceresoli !
B.K.S. Iyengar introduced props into the modern practice of yoga to allow all practitioners access to the benefits of the postures regardless of physical condition, age, or length of study.
The use of props will allow the practitioner to stay longer in the pose, will improve the alignment, will increase the range of body motion, will allow to achieve asanas that would otherwise not be possible and will help protect against injury.
When we practice with ease and stability, we allow the mind to relax and to be more open to receive the benefits of yoga.
