A specialized training for students who are interested in teaching and for
beginning teachers. A special focus will be on how to teach beginners. The
program will include instruction each day on understanding, teaching and
practicing the basic standing poses, forward bends, inversions, back arches,
sitting poses and restoratives. These trainings are also excellent preparation
for the 200 hour Fall Immersion training in Seattle to be held in September 2010, as well as the
one month training in Goa, India in November 2010. For those without a strong
background in Iyengar Yoga, strongly consider first taking the 10-Class per
Week Immersion Beginner level. Completion of a 10-Class per Week Immersion, however,
isnot a requirement for admission. For information on the Beginner Yoga
Practice Intensive, see workshop page.Please register early as this program
will have attendees from around North America and is nationally publicized.
Tuition for the 5-Day Trainings: $595. No refunds.

The purpose of the Level-1 5-Day Iyengar Yoga Teacher Training Intensive is to help
prepare those who would like to teach successful beginning and continuing
yoga courses. These trainings are especially aimed at the prospective yoga teacher
who would soon like to begin teaching, as well as the beginning yoga teacher who needs continuing professional training and new ideas. The Level-1
5-Day Teacher Trainings are also excellent preparation for our
three 200-hour yoga-alliance-approved trainings:
Teaching yoga in a professional manner is a rewarding and
challenging job. This program has evolved over the past 20 years
in response to a growing need for qualified instructors in the field
of yoga. You may be just getting your first teaching position and
realize how little real training you have. You may have taught for
some time and are acutely aware of how difficult yoga teaching
really is and have many important questions.
The 5-Day training is based upon the BKS Iyengar system and follows the
general method described in the following texts:
Light on Yoga by B.K.S. Iyengar,
Yoga a Gem for Women by Geeta S. Iyengar, and
Preliminary Course by Geeta S. Iyengar.
(These books can be mail-ordered from the Center.)
The Level-1 Yoga Teacher Training will focus on giving specific training
in the following Arts of Teaching:
- Demonstrating Yoga
- Yoga Instruction
- Observation — "how to see bodies"
- Verbal and Manual Corrections
- Sequencing — putting a class and course together
In addition, students will learn:
- How to break down poses into learnable sequences
- How to adapt poses to the student considering the student's body type,
including flexibility, strength, imbalances, injuries, skill level, and age
- When, why, and how to use yoga props in the class
- How to set up the physical arrangement of the yoga class for maximum
effectiveness
- How to use your voice as a powerful teaching tool
- What it means to be a teacher
- The theory of Iyengar Yoga
Expect a practical, hands-on training. The emphasis will not be on doing lots
of poses, but rather to more thoroughly understand the basic poses and how to
teach them, step-by-step, and to advance your students' skill level, sensitivity,
and awareness. Specifically, we be learning to teach and practice the following poses in the
Level-1 Yoga Teacher Training (time permitting)
Downward Dog Pose
Mountain Pose
Tree Pose
Extended Triangle Pose
Extended Lateral Angle Pose

schools. It is not a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teaching Certificate, which requires
formal assessment, including demonstration of skills in teaching beginners, and
demonstration of skills as a practitioner of the poses as well as passing
a written examination. There are other requirements as well, including specific
