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:
200-Hour Summer Teacher Training Immersion (each July) Click here for more information.
200-Hour 12-Weekend Teacher Training Click here for more information.
200-Hour Teacher Training Immersion in Goa, India (each November) Click here for more information.
Teaching yoga in a professional manner is one of the rewarding and
challenging jobs. 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 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
Warriors I & II
Half-Moon Pose
Intense Side Stretch

Having at least one year of background in Hatha Yoga,
preferably Iyengar style, is useful before taking this Iyengar Yoga Teacher Training,
but not required. You may be interested in the
Beginner Practice Intensive
that next meets
February 4 - 8, 2008, March 31 - April 4, 2008, and October 6 - 10, 2008.
This course focuses on learning
and refining the same poses taught in this training as well as the
fundamentals of the Iyengar System.
Certificate of Completion
All participants will receive a certificate of completion of the training. This
certificate may make it easier to teach in community colleges, health clubs, and
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
letters of recommendation and a mentorship relationship.
