MENTORSHIP
“Be inspired but not proud.” B.K.S. Iyengar
The Iyengar Yoga method of certification maintains an international level of excellence for its teachers through a standardized and tiered assessment system. Created by B.K.S. Iyengar in the 1980s, it is regularly reviewed and updated by the Iyengar family in Pune, India. It is currently undergoing a major overhaul which changes a variety of requirements as well as levels of certification.
As the new process is rolled out, I will continue to offer individualized mentorship to those who have completed a teacher training course or apprenticeship and are interested in furthering their studies.
Please email me directly if you are interested.
APPRENTICESHIP
“The art of teaching is tolerance. Humbleness is the art of learning.” B.K.S. Iyengar
Training to be an Iyengar yoga teacher is rigorous and requires patience, dedication and commitment. Apprenticing with a Senior level Iyengar Yoga teacher is one of the ways to receive this education and is the method the I have been training teachers with since 1989.
Apprenticing includes attendance in at least one weekly class for your own practice, observing another class and a variety of reading and written assignments. I currently offer this way of training online.
If you have had three or more years of continuous instruction from a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher (CIYT) and are interested in teaching, please feel free to contact me for more details about whether this is the right option for you at this time.
