Teacher Training is coming to Yogawest in 2015

We’ve had several requests over the last couple of years asking about the possibility of training to be an Iyengar yoga teacher at Yogawest.

We have been working away behind the scenes to arrange this, and now have some exciting news…

Latest Information on Teacher Training at Yogawest

As many of you know, we have been in discussion with a senior teacher in recent months about setting up an Iyengar teacher training course at Yogawest.

There have been various hoops to jump through, but we are delighted to announce that we now have IY(UK) approval to proceed with the course.

And the really fantastic news is that Sheila Haswell has agreed to teach the first course. Sheila is a well known figure in the Iyengar world, running and teaching at Sarva in High Wycombe until recently. She is a wonderful teacher: compassionate, wise and a brilliant trainer. Although she will still be based up the M4, she has agreed to come to Yogawest regularly to run this course for us.

The course will start in 2015 (probably summer time, with some additional pre-course preparation dates in the New Year tbc) and run for approx 2 years towards the Introductory level exam in Summer/Autumn 2017.

What happens next?

Our next step is to confirm dates and costs and we will update this page when this is arranged.

We’d like to talk to you if you might be interested. Drop Diana an email and let her know. Please also ask her if you have any questions at this stage.

Please note: to train to be an Iyengar teacher you need to have 3 years of Iyengar classes under your belt, and your IY(UK) teacher will need to endorse you for training.
