             To determine the physical, physiological and psychological effects 
              of practicing Iyengar Yoga 
             To determine the reason and motivation for practitioners to continue 
              Iyengar Yoga practice
             To evaluate the perception of all sorts of 'stress'
             To compare the personality characteristics of Iyengar Yoga practitioners
