You’ve been enjoying the benefits of Iyengar Yoga for a while now. Perhaps you’re wondering how your teachers put those amazing classes together and what is it that makes you feel so good. And how do they accommodate so many different kinds of people and issues at the same time?
We are the lucky beneficiaries of over seven decades of yoga teaching and teacher training experience from BKS Iyengar and his family. This class will introduce the basics of teacher training in the Iyengar method. Whether you see yourself as a teacher or not, you can gain great perspective on what’s important in yoga practice.
