TEACHERS
Iyengar Yoga teachers are widely recognized as being the best-trained yoga teachers in the world. Under the guidance and approval of Mr. Iyengar and his daughter Geeta, the Iyengar Association of Canada has developed an in-depth three year apprenticeship program that leads to international certification. Our teachers have all completed this training and continue to upgrade their qualifications by traveling to India to study at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute.

Leigh Stevenson was first introduced to Iyengar Yoga in 1998. From her very first class, she knew she had been exposed to something uniquely awakening, and has always been struck by the transformations that Iyengar Yoga can affect, whether in herself or in her fellow students. Leigh has had the great fortune to have met some truly inspirational Iyengar teachers, all of whom have reinforced her desire to become one, herself. She attended classes at RIMYI in Pune for the first time in 2011 and already looks forward to her next opportunity in November of 2014.
