Purvottanasana (Upward Plank Pose) in Iyengar yoga focuses on precise anatomical alignment, chest opening, and shoulder strengthening. Because of its intensity on the wrists and back, the Iyengar method often uses props to make the pose accessible and therapeutic, emphasizing deep stretching of the front body.

“Guruji taught me that the body is a temple, but it is also a scroll, written in breath & posture, that tells the story of the soul’s journey back to light.” Fr Joe .

"With asanas such as Sarvangasana, Halasana or Setubandha Sarvangasana, the feeling of quietness comes to the nerves. That is a kind of nourishment to the nerves required for pranayama practice. So if that nourishment comes from the asana practice, then pranayama becomes easier. These asanas are conducive to take one’s attention inwards to feel the body, the breath and the mind. They pacify the ego and bring humbleness." Geeta Iyengar
