Practice: Iyengar
Instructor: Luisa Cilurrzo
This practice was the one practice where I felt I actually learned to proper way of doing some of the positions we have been doing for the last month or so. I absolutely loved the use of props. I felt some of the best stretches I have had this far in yoga. I also felt like it really did help my posture a bit. I know that Luisa did not push us like they would in a true Iyengar class which makes me wonder if I really would like the class.
The props though truly make the practice. I think my favorite part was supta baddha konasana where there was support under the back and head. Just laying there I could feel my chest and back opening up unlike anything I had ever felt before. All my tension in my middle upper back just dissolved. The importance of the perfection of the positions was very evident and made it so that I did not feel as hurt the days following the practice. It was interesting that the practice does not really teach pranayama because most yoga practices seem to teach it. There were a lot of holds that really made me feel and stretch further in my stretches.
