Weekend Intensive with Stephanie Tencer


  • Weekend Intensive with Stephanie Tencer
     November 7, 2025 - November 9, 2025
     6:00 pm - 4:00 pm
     St Faith's Anglican Church

Sometimes, we stick with what we know, because well, it works. But sometimes, those tried and true yoga habits can actually stifle creativity and dim enthusiasm. Join Stephanie for a weekend of playful explorations that highlight the essence of ingenuity and adaptability in Iyengar Yoga.

The schedule is as follows:

  • Friday, Nov 7 6:00 – 8:00pm
  • Saturday Nov 8 9:30am – 12:00pm & 2:00 – 4:30pm
  • Sunday, Nov 9 1:00pm – 4:00pm

This is a general all-level workshop for students with at least one year of Iyengar yoga practice. It is recommended that students with acute injuries or serious medical conditions do not attend.

Props: we are recommending that students bring their own props including a mat, 2 bricks, 1 strap and their Sarvangasana set up.

Should you wish to attend only a portion, please contact us and we will accommodate your needs if we can; but priority will be given to those who register for the full three day workshop.

Members receive priority registration and discounted fees – become a member.
Cost a concern? Apply for a bursary. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to attend workshops, regardless of financial circumstances.

June Teacher Gathering

We're sorry, but all tickets sales have ended because the event is expired.

Gather with fellow teachers to investigate the relationships between body and breath; how observing what happens naturally during asana teaches us essential foundations for pranayama. Sharpen how you see, teach and practice through these community gatherings.

All teachers and apprentices welcome. Please bring blankets.

May Community Gathering

We're sorry, but all tickets sales have ended because the event is expired.

  • Community Gathering
     May 25, 2025
     11:30 am - 1:30 pm

Join us for a Graceful and Expanding practice session, where we’ll explore the use of props.

We often use props to support ourselves in a pose & give us better alignment. But props also teach us how to go beyond. We may not be aware of our habits or how far we could go until the right prop lifts us there.

Join us in exploring your next step, as your body opens to a new level of asana.

We will begin with brief reflections from those who learned from Abhijata at the recent IYAC/ACYI conference in Montreal.

April Teacher Gathering

We're sorry, but all tickets sales have ended because the event is expired.

  • Teacher Gathering
     April 12, 2025
     3:30 pm - 5:30 pm

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.
