Through its detailed attention to posture, Iyengar yoga gradually builds both strength and flexibility. This can be great for supporting other activities, like sports or dance.

Life can get pretty hectic, especially with school and social pressures. The practice includes deep breathing and relaxation techniques, which help reduce stress and promote a sense of calm.
