Guest guest Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 I've taken some Iyengar classes. I've observed that Iyengar classes don't generally have the flow. Ujjayi (sp?) breathing and dhristi (sp?) aren't emphasized as in ashtanga. Iyengar emphasizes the use of props. I have learned that both BKS Iyengar and PJ were students of Krishnamacharya. om shanti, Bob --- kumar senthil <kumarlen wrote: > I would like know the difference between BKS Iyengar > Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga in general.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 I know that Iyengar emphasizes alignment much more than traditional Ashtanga. Breath, movement, and gaze are emphasized in Ashtanga. --- Bob Lim <limbob01 wrote: > I've taken some Iyengar classes.
