Iyengar Yoga seen by an expert: Bénédicte Péroz
The teaching of yoga according to BKS Iyengar is based on the in-depth practice of asanas (yoga postures) and pranayama (yogic breathing), all carried out in the search for rigor, intensity, alignment and precision. If the demands of this approach may seem daunting at first, it is not without interest for working on the physical and psychological level...
Rigor… with flexibility!
This rigorous method is characterized by:
- attention paid to the alignment of different parts of the body in space
- the organization of postures into sequences
- the use of supports ( straps, bricks, bolsters, blankets , chairs, ropes, etc.)
These basic principles help develop a better physical and mental balance and provide all the benefits that yoga promises. The teaching is progressive and adapted to the physical abilities of each person. The use of supports facilitates the learning of postures.

Today, she teaches a yoga very inspired by the Iyengar method, nourished by magnificent encounters: Faec and Corinne Biria (Paris), Usha Devi (Rishikesh), Judith Adank (Switzerland), Christian Pisano (Nice), June Whittacker, Caroline Boulinguez (Paris)….
Her teaching is therefore a gentle blend, spiced up by the philosophy of Christian Pisano , the heightened creativity of Caroline Boulinguez, the wisdom of Godfrey Devereux and the love of Mooji. "I try to bring gentleness, humor and love to a practice sometimes considered austere," says Bénédicte Péroz. An invitation to follow her to discover the benefits of this inner experience...
