200 hour Yoga Alliance Approved Yoga Teacher Training November 1-30,2008 at Mokshanivas Yoga Centre in Palolem South Goa, with Richard Schachtel Director The Center For Yoga of Seattle Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher & Authorized Iyengar Yoga Teacher Trainer by The BKS Iyengar Yoga Association of the United States.

Richard has been studying Iyengar Yoga for 32 years and trains each year for 2 months with Geeta Iyengar and BKS Iyengar at their institute in Poona India. He has been training teachers in Iyengar Yoga since 1986.

This yoga teacher training is the identical training Richard gives every summer in the US. The daily schedule includes 3.25 hours of instruction in the practice and teaching of Iyengar Yoga asana and Pranayama, and 2.75 hours of presentations and discussions on teaching methodology, student teaching, teaching beginners, Yoga Philosophy, anatomy, ethics, student/teacher relationship, business practices, and more.

The program is open to all who are sincere in wanting to learn the fundamentals of teaching Iyengar yoga and are willing to put the necessary energy in keeping up with such a course. Those passing the various tests will be registered with Yoga Alliance at the 200 hour registry for teaching. Students who do not pass all the learning modules during the course will have one year in which to pass the online tests and earn the Yoga Alliance Certificate.

Please note that this course does not award an Iyengar Yoga Teaching certificate which has many requirements including years of devoted study and daily practice of Iyengar yoga, recommendations from 2 certified Iyengar Yoga Teachers, formal assessment of teaching skills, practitioner skills, and passing a written exam. There may be additional requirements which may vary by country.

This training can be excellent preparation for assessment for experienced Iyengar Yoga students and an extremely beneficial overview of the Iyengar Yoga system. It is the same training Richard gives in America over a 2 year period or in a one month course each July in Seattle, Washington.

The 200 hour training course outline will follow the information on the first 2 syllabus of the 2008 certification manual of The BKS Iyengar Yoga Association of the United States. These 2 syllabuses contain the exact poses and pranayamas that students around the world hoping to be certified Iyengar yoga teachers must demonstrate proficiency in teaching and practice. In addition, readings from various parts on the yoga Sutras, and other texts are listed.
