Deepening the Process
If you want to deepen your practice or train to become an Iyengar yoga teacher these workshops are for you. To train as an Iyengar yoga teacher you need to have been attending Iyengar Yoga classes for a minimum of three years. Once you’ve completed 300 hours of training you need to pass a rigorous assessment process to receive an Iyengar Yoga teaching certificate. During Deepening the Process workshops we’ll practice asanas and pranayama in depth and discuss them, as well as study the yoga sutras and yoga philosophy. Learning to teach inspires our own practice and growth as we pass on what we learn. Having our own yoga practice is essential to teaching with integrity.
For those wanting to teach you’ll learn how to:
• Guide students safely through the asanas in the Iyengar Introductory Level syllabus
• Demonstrate and communicate clearly and effectively
• Organise a class so it runs smoothly
• Speak to the body so it listens
• What to do if a student is menstruating, pre or post natal or a senior citizen
• Avoid exacerbating any injuries students may have and help them learn how to manage them
Those wanting to train as teachers and sit the Iyengar Yoga assessment will need to attend all workshops or be mentored for at least two years, attend at least two classes a week, assist Linda in classes for a total of 80 hours and attend at least one retreat during the year.
If you want to attend the workshops out of interest or to simply deepen your practice you’re not required to attend all of them.
Workshops also involve yoga research and study and the presentation of assignments.
