Here is my regular "advertisement" for Iyengar method yoga:
I was in a traffic accident about 12 years ago and screwed up my back
to no end. I was fortunate to go to a physical therapist that was also
a yoga teacher. From there I was introduced to the world of Iyengar
method yoga. In the matter a year I aligned my spine so that I was
completely relieved of back pain.
Mr. Iyengar was one of a number of Yoga teachers that brought Yoga to
the west in the 50's and 60's. He has written numerous books on the
practice of yoga. His book "Light on Yoga" has become a "bible" to a
number of schools of yoga. His latest book "Yoga the Path to Holistic
Health" is really a must read for the practicing yogi.
His students have set up institutes throughout the world and a system
of rigourous training to insure that Iyengar taught teachers have a
consistent method of teaching. This includes training in physiology
and understanding of physical ailments and how to tailor the practice
to the student.
Two Web sites about Iyengar Method Yoga can be found at:
http://www.iyengar-yoga.com/ (this site has a directory of teachers for
the world)
http://www.bksiyengar.com/
Good luck, and enjoy the journey.
