Yoga with Props - Finding our
Sacred Geometry

UNFOLD THE SPACE OF THE ASANA AND MIND TO DWELL IN YOUR OWN TRUE SPLENDOR

Asanas are not just simple exercises; they allow us to study our body and mind, and to understand our limits, tendencies, and potential. Iyengar developed the practice of asanas to a level of art and science.

The usage of props intend to direct awareness to different aspects of the asanas and to different parts of the body, in order to deepen and enhance the understanding of the asanas. 

 

They provide a sense of direction - allowing us to open up space to find the perfect alignment for our skeleton, bringing us to the bhava (attitude) of the asana.

The class

In the Yoga with Props class, the props (blocks, bolsters, belts, kurunta, dharma heel...) help us perform and feel the asanas, finding the sacred geometry of our body, which is unique.

After this physical workshop, we finish the class with a Restorative Yoga pose.

The transformation this class delivers

Props let us stay longer in an asana, thus permitting deeper penetration of unexplored bodily regions.

In the Yoga with Props class, you understands and learn asana faster on props as the brain remains passive. Through passive brain one learns to be alert in body and mind. Props are guides to self-learning. You understand what is the perfect aligment for you own body.
