Did you know that Iyengar Yoga teacher training is Gold standard? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It takes many years - a minimum of 3 - before you can even begin the teacher training. If your teacher is an IYENGAR teacher they have trained in yoga for a minimum of 6 years!

We also have to meet rigorous annual standards to maintain our Iyengar Teacher status.

This clarity and structure ensures you can enjoy a high standard of instruction and safety in any Iyengar Yoga class.

I have been practising since 1997. Gained my Teaching Certification in 2008 and with continuous professional development qualified as a Level 2 teacher in 2016.

Since then training is ongoing because we are always students of Yoga!

How often do you think about the inner side of your ankle and how it is positioned? It's one of the marvelous things in Iyengar Yoga: its meticulous focus on proper alignment of each pose, down to the finest anatomical detail. As dear Guriji BKS Iyengar said: "Yoga does not just change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees." 🙏

[…] You’ll have to develop sensitivity. You can’t have a teacher to teach you sensitivity. Teacher cannot improve that; it has to be subjectivistically improved. Classical yoga is not just making you do something instructionally, guided, instructional or proposals. I just can’t give you and make proposals and you learn. You’ll have to develop sensitivity. Otherwise, most of you have the idea you must have healthy body, flexible body, strong body then you are very good for yoga. Is that right? If you don’t have strong body, flexible body, you think you are not qualified. Very idea of yoga is got wrong. So, sensitivity is important. I can’t implant sensitivity in you. You’ll have to have sensitivity which is indigenous, it is turned out from within. I can’t implant awareness in you, it should be indigenous.
So, sensitivity and awareness are important aspects for you to have evolvement of yoga, not how much you do every day, how many hours you practice every day with lack of sensitivity. […]

Centro IYENGAR® Yoga do Porto

Aberto desde 2002, foi o primeiro local em Portugal exclusivamente dedicado ao ensino do IYENGAR® Yoga. Tem aulas todos os dias (em horas variadas, dadas por Professores Certificados pelo RIMYI - Puna) e dedica-se exclusivamente ao ensino, estudo, divulgação e promoção do Yoga de acordo com os ensinamentos de Yogacharya Sri B.K.S. Iyengar.

IYENGAR® Yoga O nome vem de Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja (B.K.S.) Iyengar (14/12/1918 - 20/08/2014), um dos yoguis mais influentes de todos os tempos. Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar começou a prática de Yoga com T. Krishnamacharya, seu cunhado e mestre. Foi apresentado ao Ocidente pelo famoso violinista Yehudi Menuhin. Viveu grande parte da sua vida em Puna (Índia), onde fundou o RIMYI - Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute. É autor de muitos dos melhores livros sobre Yoga, como “Light on Yoga”, “Light on Pranayama”, “The Art of Yoga”, “Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali”, “The Tree of Yoga", "Light on Astanga Yoga", "Light on life”, “Core of the Yoga Sutras”.

Certificação A pirâmide é a marca registada de B.K.S. IYENGAR, que prova a autenticidade e o compromisso do professor que a usa ao IYENGAR® Yoga. A Certificação de Professores de IYENGAR® Yoga é uma forma de garantir que as pessoas que ensinam em nome de B.K.S. IYENGAR estão qualificadas para o fazer, sendo pessoas formadas e experientes neste método, mantendo o rigor, a integridade e a vitalidade da comunidade de IYENGAR® Yoga. A certificação mantém, promove e protege os ensinamentos de B.K.S. IYENGAR, submetendo os futuros ou já professores, a um rigoroso programa standardizado de treino, prática e envolvimento no método Iyengar, segundo as regras ditadas pelo RIMYI, Puna, Índia.

O que distingue o IYENGAR® Yoga dos outros estilos de yoga? O método IYENGAR® foca especialmente o desenvolvimento da força, da resistência e o alinhamento correcto do corpo. Também trabalha a flexibilidade e o relaxamento. É dado ênfase às posturas de pé, que tornam as pernas fortes, aumentam a vitalidade, melhoram a circulação, a coordenação e o equilíbrio. O IYENGAR® Yoga é meditação em movimento. Enquanto os alunos fazem as posturas, a mente tem de estar focada nas acções da postura e no movimento da respiração. À medida que a mente se une com o corpo e com a respiração, o aluno passa a estar num estado meditativo. O auto-conhecimento ocorre pela descoberta e libertação dos estados normais de tensão e de resistência psicológica. Com a prática contínua, a capacidade do aluno para relaxar e se concentrar melhora, permitindoassim uma maior consciência de si mesmo.
