Iyengar® Yoga Certification
A sign of excellence, clarity and depth of understanding
The certification process of Iyengar Yoga is considered the "gold standard" of the teaching credentials of Yoga.
It is very rigorous, ensuring a well-trained instructor in the art, science and philosophy of Yoga. Prospective teachers confirm their dedication through years of study: at least 3 as students + 3 of teacher training.
Teacher training includes the study of anatomy, physiology, philosophy and practical teaching methods.
Certification candidates undergo an assessment process that includes the presentation of a "mentor" teacher and a three-part exam; prospective teachers must demonstrate competence in the performance of the asanas, in teaching and sustain a written examination of philosophy and anatomy.
The evaluation is held by an external commission composed of senior level teachers.
At the end of this path the Introdoctory level is achieved. The training and assessment process continues with more advanced standards and programs for three additional levels of certification, from Introductory to Intermediate Junior III. Even higher levels of certification are granted directly by Geeta Iyengar.
