Yoga became popular in the West in large part through the teaching of B.K.S. Iyengar. Iyengar yoga is accessible to anyone. Regular practice increases suppleness, strength and stamina, improves posture and concentration and quietens the mind to promote well-being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628f725ac0374c42e3c3a523/a23a709e-230d-4691-a008-339b95eb8504/1.76.jpg Iyengar Yoga Cissy teaches yoga online with an open, accessible and interactive dynamic.

Quality of movement is prioritised. You learn to move with ease in your body while working within your limitations. This makes the yoga postures (asanas) safe to perform. Yoga Postures are held for longer than in some other methods, allowing tight muscles to lengthen and relax, and helping to focus awareness. Yoga Props such as blankets, blocks and belts may be used to improve your understanding of poses or to help if you have difficulties. https://www.cissy.org/about-cissy daily 0.75 2025-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628f725ac0374c42e3c3a523/4a0b2d26-149b-42e5-9e86-b5b12e09015d/IMG-1122.jpg About Cissy Cissy has practiced Iyengar yoga since 1981 and became a certified teacher of Iyengar yoga in 1986.
