Teaching Opportunities
At The Center For Yoga of Seattle we teach yoga in the great 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 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
Normally, The Center trains our own teachers and promote positions from within, however we are always 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 in us.
