“It is through the alignment of the body that I discovered the alignment of my mind, self, and intelligence.”
— B.K.S. Iyengar
Alignment is more than how a pose looks — it’s how the body is organized to support clarity, strength, and awareness. In yoga, alignment refers to the way we arrange the body in each asana by stacking bones, creating supportive lines, and cultivating balance between effort and ease. This foundation allows the practice to unfold safely while maximizing its physical and energetic benefits.
Whether you are newer to yoga or have been practicing for years, alignment is not something we “master” once and move on from. It’s something we revisit again and again. As our bodies change, so does the way we meet each pose. Reestablishing alignment helps us move with greater confidence, stability, and intention — both on and off the mat.
