Iyengar practice

I came into class on monday not expecting much out of this new yoga practice called Iyengar. The teacher was an older lady named Michele. She was wearing these black booty shorts, and later on during the class she told us why she was wearing her goofy looking shorts. Iyengar is mainly about one posture, and mastering that one posture. We did a lot of stretch work, and I could feel the sensations throughout my upper legs and thighs. I feel like I am pretty flexible so i got alot out of the Iyengar practice. The instructor told us that the reason she was wearing those shorts was so she could see each muscle in her legs so she knew it was going in the correct direction. I liked how during the class we stopped and examined each asana before we did it, this is a great way to learn and prosper in yoga.
