increase my physical fitness and it brought my own understanding of yoga to a wholenew level. �e sheer number of hours spent in the ‘yoga environment’ also broughtgreater knowledge of the asanas, philosophy, anatomy and practice all with a hands on pragmatic approach. I was exposed to not only one amazing instructor, but several, during the month and was able to glean information on a variety of subjects that would become integral to my own teaching style and approach. �e immersion, for me, was the best opportunity to pack in a lot of learning in a short amount of time. �roughout the month, the weekly workshops were anotherpower-packed learning opportunity and I took away an incredible amount of information and self-confidence in my ability to teach.”

“I personally feel that Iyengar yoga, with it’s emphasis on proper alignment and the usage of props for modification, is the best foundation I could have as a yoga instructor. So I also feel by choosing to pursure my RYT-200 from a certified Iyengar studio, I now have a distinct advantage over other yoga instructors. Although the long days and large volume of information were at times challenging, I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a solid foundation in yoga. I would recommend this program for anyone wanting to propel their personal practice to a whole new level. I would recommend this program to anyone with the desire to begin their teaching journey with the confidence of having received quality instruction and support from a studio certified in an internationally recognized form of yoga- Iyengar Yoga.” Helen Gallaway, Bend, Oregon- Sept 2012 course
