About Iyengar Yoga Teachers


What does it mean to be an Iyengar instructor?

In order to insure the highest level of instruction, the long path to
Iyengar yoga certification begins with many years of a self disciplined
practice in conjuction with a significant amount of practical teaching
experience. Once a candidate believes they are ready, they may apply to take
the assessment examination. Prospective teachers must show a mastery of the
asanas (postures) at their level. In addition, a written exam is
administered on the philosophy, anatomy, and practical knowledge of
teaching.

Finally and most heavily evaluated, the prospective teacher is observed and
scrutinized while teaching a sample class. A year or two later the
prospective candidate undergoes the entire evaluation process again, with a
different set of asanas. Only then, upon successful evaluation is the full
certification granted at the introductory level. Every level, one through
six, requires the same evaluation process, from introductory to intermediate
senior. Higher levels are evaluated by B.K.S. Iyengar.
