single-event

Join us for a Teaching from the Heart practice session, where we’ll explore teaching with clarity and compassion—saying what matters, when it matters—integrating the aspects of Maitri (friendliness) and Karuna (compassion) into our teaching.

In this session, our focus will be to:

• Keep instructions simple and precise—not because it’s easy, but because it’s effective.
• Teach to the students in front of you, rather than saying everything you know.
• Trust that our depth of understanding shines through our simplicity.
• Recognize what’s essential and let go of the rest.

Whether you’re a new teacher or have years of experience, this is an opportunity to strengthen your skills, exchange ideas, and connect with our vibrant Iyengar yoga teaching community. Saturday, April 12 from 3:30 – 5:30pm.

Calling ALL teachers and apprentices!
Please join with your colleagues in an afternoon of fun, dynamic, active poses, jumping and exploration of the progressive approach to more complex poses. We will keep our own practice in mind, but also our understanding of how to introduce more challenging asanas to our students at many levels of ability and experience.

Beyond accomplishing any particular shape, coordination of body, breath, senses and mind will be considered at all stages.

Connect with other yoga practitioners to deepen your understanding and experience of asana. The focus will be preparing for and working towards full Pincha Mayurasana. We will explore how to apply effort and concentration to increase mobility and stability. All are welcome. Adaptations and modifications will be provided.

Mats, blocks, bolsters, straps and chairs are available to use. You’re welcome to bring your own equipment if you prefer.

Join us at first teachers’ gathering of 2025. Continue to hone your observing and range of helping skills. We will explore some asanas from the Level 2 or 3 syllabi considering the deeper threads of inter-family of asanas.

When: Sunday, January 12, 2025, 1:30-4:30 pm
Where: Trout Lake Community Centre, Grandview Room

There are limited props at the venue, please bring what you need for Salamba Sarvangasana.

Please join us at the Kitsilano Community Centre, Saturday Nov 9 from 1:30 – 4:30 pm for a gathering of teachers and apprentices.

The Centre is envisioned as a cultural space to inspire practice and nourish connection amongst the Iyengar Yoga community in the greater Vancouver area. The active support of the Iyengar yoga community, particularly the teachers, will be essential to the Centre’s success and longevity.
