Intermediate Iyengar Yoga Sequence
In this practice session, we will focus on staying grounded.
We will establish a stable and firm foundation through various seated postures—moving forward, laterally, twisting, and extending backward. This allows us to create space, generate heat, and cultivate a sense of quiet. The different leg positions in these postures help to open and release areas that often become tight and restricted from prolonged sitting.
Additionally, incorporating pranayama (breath control) will enhance our practice by calming the mind, increasing focus, and further promoting a deep sense of relaxation and balance.
