Iyengar yoga is based upon innovations to classical hatha yoga as developed by B.K.S. Iyengar. With over 70 years of continuous practice, insightful teachings, and meticuluous study of the early yoga texts, his devotion to the art, science, and philosophy of yoga is world-renowned. Brian Hogencamp discovered the potency of instruction and efficacy of asana in his very first Iyengar yoga class; yoga had begun its steady pull. Brian is a student of Manouso Manos with whom he continues regular study and apprenticeship. With his teacher's help and guidance, he has benefited immensely from the therapeutic aspect of yoga to heal from a major physical injury. Through consistent practice and study, the universality and completeness of the Iyengar approach to yoga continues to unfold for him. Brian is an Iyengar certified teacher. He returned in March from his second 2-month study immersion with the Iyengar family in Pune, India. Teaching full-time in San Francisco, he is eager to share the light yoga can bring. |
| The Iyengar approach to yoga is rooted upon the traditional eight limbs of yoga as prescribed by the ancient Indian sage Patanjali in his classic text, The Yoga Sutras. Postures or asana are practiced with precision and alignment; developing strength, flexibility, stamina, balance, and mental clarity. Props are often used to adapt the body to the asana and provide an insightful evolution toward perfection of the asana. The effects and benefits of practice are cumulative. These depend upon which, how, and in what sequence each asana is practiced. As the yoga practitioner progresses, awareness pierces beyond the physical body, bringing inner balance and harmony; a deeper absorption, a "meditation in action". |
