Yoga Kurunta, an integral component of the Iyengar Yoga tradition, traces its roots to the legendary yogi B.K.S. Iyengar. Developed by Iyengar himself, Yoga Kurunta involves the use of ropes, wall-mounted props, and supports to refine and deepen the practice of yoga asanas. The term "Kurunta" is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning puppet, underscoring the puppet-like movements one can achieve by using the ropes. B.K.S. Iyengar introduced the concept of Yoga Kurunta to address the need for precise alignment, increased flexibility, and enhanced strength in yoga postures. The ropes provide support, allowing practitioners to explore and sustain poses with greater stability. This method is particularly beneficial for students at all levels, aiding beginners in building a strong foundation while offering advanced practitioners the opportunity to refine their practice. Today, Yoga Kurunta remains an essential and distinctive aspect of Iyengar Yoga, embodying B.K.S. Iyengar's commitment to precision, accessibility, and the transformative power of yoga.
