By consistently engaging in diverse techniques—such as postures, movement, breath awareness, breathing exercises, relaxation, concentration and meditation—yoga nurtures overall health and well-being, encompassing physical, emotional, mental, and social aspects.

Yoga for overall health

An increasing number of people are turning to yoga as a means to alleviate stress, enhance mobility, and better manage their emotions. It serves not only as a method of relaxation but also as an opportunity to practice kindness toward yourself and your body.

While there are many online classes and videos available, it can be difficult to know if you’re executing yoga poses correctly. When you join a yoga session at Go Girl Timaru, your highly experienced and qualified instructor – Lizelle, will provide clear demonstrations on how to achieve each posture, along with any relevant breathing exercises to enhance your practice.

The Benefits of Iyengar Yoga for the Body

Increased Flexibility: Gradual progression in poses leads to enhanced flexibility over time, making it suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
Strength Development: Holding poses for extended periods builds muscular strength, particularly in the core and limbs, enhancing overall stability.
Posture Improvement: Emphasis on alignment helps correct poor posture, alleviating back pain and reducing strain on muscles and joints.
Enhanced Balance: Many asanas challenge balance, improving coordination and stability, which is vital for overall mobility.
Better Circulation: Practicing various poses promotes blood flow, contributing to cardiovascular health and overall vitality.
Injury Prevention: The use of props and focus on alignment help minimize the risk of injury, making it suitable for various individuals.
Stress Relief: Integrating breath control and mindfulness encourages relaxation, lowering stress levels and promoting mental well-being.

Importance of Asanas in Iyengar based Yoga

Iyengar yoga is an excellent choice for beginners due to its strong focus on proper body alignment for each asana.

Emphasizing alignment, symmetry, and the intensity of execution, this yoga style encourages students to pay close attention to detail as they practice. Beginners benefit from the use of props, such as blankets, belts, and blocks, which help them achieve poses they may not yet be able to perform fully. These props also enable students to hold positions for longer durations, enhancing their practice.

The asanas are organized to allow beginners to adapt them according to their skill level, progressively increasing difficulty as their abilities improve. This emphasis on correct alignment not only fosters symmetrical development but also reduces the risk of pain or injury.

Each student is encouraged to use props and work within their safe range of motion, ensuring an effective and supportive experience in their yoga practice.
