Question: is iyengar yoga for beginners?
Answer: Iyengar yoga is great for learning the subtleties of correct alignment. Props – belts, blocks and pillow-like bolsters – help beginners get into poses with correct alignment, even when they're new to them, injured or simply stiff. Anusara yoga is a more modern form of Iyengar. Ashtanga is a more vigorous style of yoga.
