WITH LARA WARREN
Lara is offering a 1-year program (with an option for a second year) for those pursuing excellence in the art, science, and philosophy of Iyengar Yoga. It is for students and teachers of all backgrounds and levels of experience to come together, study, learn, practice, and explore Iyengar Yoga. The workshops, classes, and intensives will provide a supportive environment to deepen your knowledge of yoga and elevate your ability to teach more effectively.
THIS COURSE WILL:
Develop accuracy and knowledge of basic actions in your asana practice
Hone your ability to see, listen and demonstrate effectively
Refine your relationship with self-practice and self-study
Cultivate stability and maturity in your yogic studies
Provide a method for creating respect, immediacy, and relevance for you and your students
Successfully prepare you for the Iyengar Yoga certification process
PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
The first year runs from October 2023 through September 2024. Seven-weekend intensives are broken down into a 2-hour advanced asana workshop with Lara and a three-hour teacher development session where you will dive into the philosophy and practice of Guruji's methodologies for teaching and exploring Iyengar Yoga. In addition to the intensive weekend workshops, you will meet on Tuesdays. These weekly sessions are an essential forum to integrate and deepen your understanding of what you learned in the intensives. You can also ask questions and share experiences and observations about your practice, study, and teaching.
