In the UK Iyengar Yoga is very popular. I have taught it for over 20 years. It differs from many other forms due to the awareness and precision we teach, now called 'mindfulness'. We do not play music, or let our minders wander as happens in other schools. I find it to be an earthing, grounding practice. Our emphasis on finding balance in the body and therefore the mind. We do not just go with flexibility, which flowing styles often do. We actually try to encourage firmness in the body and therefore firmness in the mind. Hence its benefit to these mental health conditions.
