Iyengar Yoga Teacher Study Group

Through individual practice of asana and pranayama, our understanding of yogic techniques becomes clear. How do we make teaching a natural outcome of this devoted practice? Working together, from our own personal experience, we will look at alternatives, therapeutic applications, and hands-on adjustments, clarifying their context, purpose, and limitations.

This monthly study group is for those who want to engage in a deeper exploration of the practice and philosophy of Iyengar Yoga. We will work together exploring asana, pranayama, anatomy, and therapeutics to support a comprehensive understanding of the components of yoga and how to skillfully share this understanding with others.

• Bring greater depth to your practice by studying the asana, pranayama and anatomy of your syllabus in a methodical way.

• Learn the teaching skills expected of the various levels and how to develop these skills to improve your teaching.

• Learn how to modify and adjust asanas for common issues.

• Practice classroom management skills while teaching to your peers.

• Attend weekly asana classes with a CIYT Level 2 or above.
