Styles - how to do 'yogaphysio'

There are endless styles of yoga. The more traditional of these styles are classified by their lineage, and perhaps revere a certain teacher that tradition for sharing their knowledge. A number of yoga styles have evolved from Krishnamacharya. Krishnamacharya taught BKS Iyengar, Deshikachar, and Patabhi Jois. Each of these great teachers have had a extensive influence on yoga in the west. Other well established schools are that of Satyananda and related to philosophy that of Vivekananda.

More modern styles have become established as influenced by more contemporary teachers and teachings. Many of these teachers brand their style and maybe in the next century their concepts may be revered like a lineage, as the teachers before them. Some modern schools focus primarily on asana practice, while other lean more to meditation, philosophical study and self enquiry.

The style of yogaphysio is a bit of a blend. Our teachers are trained to select postures according to the needs of the student rather than teach restricted to a lineage. Flowing practices are used to increase range of movement; sustained postures are taught when strength is required. There is an emphasis on correct alignment and as alignment is mastered, postures are sequenced together in enjoyable flows. Some of our teachers are trained in Iyengar yoga, which has one of the strictest training standard of all schools.

We also use yoga 'props'; look at some of the youtubes below to see how to use them.
