The Iyengar method
Iyengar Yoga takes its name from the method created by Master B.K.S. Iyengar.
In over seventy years of dedication to yoga, Master Iyengar, has deepened the study and the effects of Asanas (positions) and Pranayama (breath control).
The alignment, the symmetry, the precision in the execution, the sequence and the duration of the positions, are the peculiar characteristics of this method that acts on a physical, emotional and mental level.
The use of supports
Long years of rigorous study have given Iyengar a profound knowledge of the beneficial effects of each Asana on both the physical and mental levels and their infinite combinations according to the various needs.
In order to make everyone participate in the benefits of yoga, Iyengar was the first to invent the use of tools such as blocks of wood,
blankets, belts, cushions, stools that allow students to stay in one position longer, to reap the benefits at deeper levels.
In this way even the weakest physically can remain long enough to have the desired effects on the organs

Certified teacher
Roberta Arlenghi
I met yoga Iyengar during the university period, more than twenty years ago, transmitted “pure and rigorous” from the teachings of Christian Pisano landed in Italy thanks to the invitation of Renato Turla to whom I also owe the enlightening meeting with Dona Holleman , acute and expert teacher.
From 1986 to today I have followed and completed 2 instructor courses directed by C. Pisano, to as many as I took part as assistant: in Bergamo, in the first yoga center founded by me (1994) and in Lyon.
I joined my teacher for 2 years without interruption in France, England, America, Italy during seminars, intensives, conventions, megaclass directed by him, as well as in India at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI) where I took part in the courses “General Classes” and “Intensives”.
I founded with Christian Pisano the “Institut de yoga Iyengar de Nice”, a renowned training school for Iyengar teachers directed today by Pisano himself and by June Whittaker.
I graduated (Introductory level two) in 2006.
Currently I organize courses and seminars at the centers I founded, where I host internationally renowned teachers.

I met yoga in 2009 and I took this path without knowing what it really was. Slowly I discovered and appreciated more and more this art transmitted with passion by my teacher Roberta Arlenghi, the one who gave me confidence, who accompanied me, and that still accompanies me, in this process of growth.
Currently I am teaching teachers in Nice, in the school run by the renowned teacher Christian Pisano and I continue my internship assisting and supporting Roberta in the schools she founded in Caprino Bergamasco and in Bergamo.
