I've been practicing Yoga for nearly 20 years.
My training has been a mixture of Iyengar, a precision alignment based yoga practice, and Vinyasa- a flowing practice linking one pose to the next. Iyengar's strength is in it's precision, it's discipline. Vinyasa’s strength is in its diversity, there is no specific sequence so room for lots of creative input. I like to use a music analogy here; I see Iyengar yoga as 'the scales' of yoga, and Vinyasa as 'the music'. If you can't play your scales, you can't make beautiful music! I practice Iyengar yoga for the structural discipline, from that discipline comes the freedom to flow safely in Vinyasa.
I attend regular Iyengar workshops and an annual teacher development day with senior Iyengar teachers. After that I'm anyones. There are schools of thought that say you shouldn't mix yoga styles but for me, I chose a class depending on how I'm feeling. Every city I visit, I check out the yoga studios. I learn so much from experiencing different styles and teachers. Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Bikram,
