Iyengar Yoga Teachers
Iyengar training and certification takes many years and much dedication. To become a certified Iyengar yoga teacher, they must have many years experience of teaching, work with a mentor teacher, and go through an assessment process where senior teachers from other parts of the country observe their asana practice, their knowledge of anatomy and the philosophy of yoga, and their teaching ability. There are many levels of certification in the Iyengar method — teachers remain lifelong students and continually improve on their practice of the asanas and their teaching skills.
