It is the structural backbone of the ALIGN method. Alignment-led asana practice to bring precision into every posture, regardless of how flexible or experienced you are.
You hold poses long enough for the body to reorganise itself. Over weeks and months, this is what rebuilds posture, eases back and neck pain, and gives the rest of the practice a strong foundation to stand.
This is where most students begin, and it is what every other class discipline is built on.
What you receive in an Iyengar class at ALIGN is not a generic alignment session.
It is a class shaped by The Align Method — written by Hitesh after more than a decade of teaching and practising in the Iyengar tradition, alongside a deep, sustained study of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.
The book is the documented basis of how we teach — with sequencing, structural logic, connecting alignment and breath with the long term goal of a sustainable practice.
