Teaching Opportunity



The Center for Yoga of Seattle teaches yoga in the great yoga tradition of Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar of India, author of Light on Yoga, Light on Pranayama, Light on The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, The Art of Yoga, Yoga: The Path to Holistic Health, and, most recently, Light on Life. In 2004, B.K.S. Iyengar was included in Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential living human beings.

Seeking Résumés

Though we usually train our own teachers and promote from within, the Center is open to looking at other highly qualified Iyengar-trained teaching candidates. If you are a trained teacher in the Iyengar method and are interested in being a part of the Seattle area's premier Iyengar Yoga institution, we invite you to send us a résumé that includes your training and teaching experience.

If you have a strong background in Iyengar Yoga but limited teaching experience, we may be willing to train you if we feel you have the right combination of desire, motivation, curiosity, energy, and intelligence, along with good interpersonal skills. If this describes you, feel free to send us a résumé and letter describing your interest.

Send resumes to info@yogaseattle.com, with "teaching positions" in the subject. You can also mail your resume to:

Re: Teaching Positions

Nationally Recognized Teacher Training Program

The Center has a nationally recognized Teacher Training Program to develop serious and committed Iyengar Yoga students to the level where they can teach safety and confidence and skill. We not only offer several 5-day trainings on some of the fundamentals of practice and teaching each year, but also have 200-Hour, 12-Weekend Teacher Training Program meeting approximately one weekend a month, as well as a month-long summer Teacher Training Immersion in July. In addition to these programs, we have many weekend workshops, which can function as teacher training on various important topics.

One of the most important aspects of Iyengar Yoga is a student's regular contact (preferably at least weekly) with his or her class teacher, where the student receives ongoing instruction and feedback in developing practitioner skills in yoga.

For our most promising Teacher Training Students, we offer Apprenticeships, where apprentices observe regular classes and are slowly trained to be assistant teachers. For more information on the various teacher training programs we offer, please see our Teacher Training Brochure.
