[1] From The Official Website of B.K.S.Iyengar Yoga in FAQs “What are the unique features of "Iyengar Yoga"?

·       Iyengar Yoga can be practiced by all.

·       The emphasis is given to precision and alignment in all postures.

·       The use of self designed props such as wooden gadgets, belts, ropes helps the practitioner to achieve perfection in all the postures.

·       The aspect of "sequencing". An "Iyengar Yoga" practitioner is aware of the sequence in which different groups of asanas have to be performed.
