The BKS Iyengar Yoga Studio of Dallas is offering a two-year Teacher Training program, which covers the study of asana, pranayama, anatomy, philosophy, and teaching methods. This comprehensive program developed and directed by Mary Orbendorfer and Eddy Marks. Eddy and Mary are Intermediate Senior I Iyengar yoga teachers from San Diego, California.

This unique program will deepen your experience and comprehension of Iyengar Yoga. It is suitable for Iyengar yoga teachers through the certification level of Intermediate Junior 3, as well as yoga students who would like to begin teaching Iyengar Yoga.

Class time is balanced between Asana Classes taught by Mary and Eddy - direct teaching, unique drills designed to hone specific teaching skills, as well as queston and answer sessions. Whenever possible the teaching is active so that each participant has the opportunity to teach many times during each session.

This program provides the student with a strong basis for testing in the IYNAUS (Iyengar Yoga Nation Association of the United States) certification process. Detailed information about certification can be found at http://www.iynaus.org/teach/certification/
