Teacher Training Program

Emotional Anatomy
Teacher Training
Emotional Anatomy
Brief Intro

Setu Yoga Studio’s teacher training program comprises two years of comprehensive introductory level training program, covering the foundations of teaching yoga, as well as performing and adjusting the asanas.

Our goal is to prepare trainees to lead classes in safe and intelligent ways, as we gradually coax the individual trainee's innovation and creativity in their own approach to teaching yoga.

At the introductory level, trainees are encouraged to master the sense of practicing yoga with precision. Fostering such a profound understanding provides the best platform from which one can deepen the craft of teaching.

 

The program is led by Mahyar Raz, the most senior certified Iyengar Yoga instructor in Canada. Mahyar has for more than 30 years studied under the direct supervision of her late guru, Mr. B.K.S. Iyengar. Since September of 2000, Mahyar has been cultivating, instructing, and preparing successful yoga teachers in Canada.

Program Dates and Duration

Our teacher training program begins in September of each year and lasts approximately two years.

Program Structure

Setu’s teacher-training comprises two years of comprehensive introductory level training program, covering the foundations of teaching yoga, performing and adjusting the yoga asanas. An optional third year advanced level, which focuses on introduction to yoga therapeutics and special care adjustments, is available to the interested and successful graduates of the introductory teacher-training levels at Setu.

Some traditional components of the program include advanced classes, asana workshops, and physical anatomy. New to the program are development workshops in areas such as emotional anatomy.
