Integrative yoga draws its roots from the Hatha yoga discipline. It combines different yoga techniques, especially drawing from Iyenger Yoga. This form of yoga stresses precise poses and body awareness. It emphasizes pose holding to ensure that the optimal pose is achieved while developing balance. Integrative yoga utilizes many props because of the demanding nature of this discipline. Because of its emphasis on prolonged stance and low impact, it is extremely therapeutic and can be used with anyone regardless of any kind of physical disability. In such cases, this discipline is very adaptable, and thus it can be altered to suit a particular disability.
Throughout the exercise we focus on fine tuning our stance and position, while experiencing the effect of holding a pose for a prolonged time. The precision and constant adjustment to find the precise position to allow optimal realignment of our anatomical structures is crucial for this form of yoga. And yet, this form of exercise extends to our spiritual wellbeing as well. By precisely aligning our bodies we free up our mind for introspective reflection and we can begin to pay attention to our body’s connection with our soul.
