After a while relax the arms near the body as in Savasana Here is how to make a bolster out of 3 blankets or towels Lorena Simonetto – Iyengar® Yoga Teacher Supta Virasana 3-5 Min The pose is always a bit of a challenge... find out the height that is needed (under the pelvis and along the spine) to be able to enjoy a nice stretch of the quadriceps and groins. Keep the thighs parallel (you can use a strap) If you have knee problems and the pose is not possible, practice Supta Svastikasana Lorena Simonetto – Iyengar® Yoga Teacher Adho Mukha Svanasana 3-5 Min If possible, practice with a strap on the groins to facilitate the extention of the chest.

It supports and strenghten the immun system, the cardio-vascular system , the respiratory, digestive and endocrin systems... try and practice it as often as possible! Lorena Simonetto – Iyengar® Yoga Teacher Sirsasana 3-5 Min This version of Sirsasana is particularly good if you have shoulder problems or if you cannot yet practice the pose but nevertheless like to be upsidedown and see the world from a different perspective :-) You can obviously practice the classical pose or Uttanasana with the head supported Chair Sarvangasana 5 Min Move the tailbone toward the heels and press the shoulderblades against the rib cage.

VALENTE AND ANTONIO MAROTTA As the flame of light in a windless place remains tranquil and free from agitation, likewise, the heart of the seeker of Self-Consciousness, attuned in Yoga, remains free from restlessness and tranquil. —The Bhagavad Gita The philosophy of yoga has been used for millennia to experience, examine, and explain the intricacies of the mind and the essence of the human psyche. The sage Patanjali, who compiled and codified the yoga teachings up to his time (500–200 BCE) in his epic work Yoga Darsana, defined yoga as a method used to still the fluctuations of the mind to reach the central reality of the true self (Iyengar, 1966). Patanjali’s teachings encour- age an intentional lifestyle of moderation and harmony by offering guidelines that involve moral and ethical standards of living, postural and breathing exercises, and various meditative modalities all used to cultivate spiritual growth and the evolution of consciousness. In the modern era, the ancient yoga philosophy has been revitalized and applied to enrich the quality of everyday life and has more recently been applied as a therapeutic intervention to bring relief to those experiencing Copyright American Psychological Association.

  • RIMYI Certification Course Guidlines Booklet
    CERTIFICACERTIFICATIONTION AND ASASSESSMENTSESSMENT GUIDELINES AprilJuly 20202020 It is relatively easy to be a teacher of an academic subject, but to be a teacher in art is very difficult, and to be a yoga teacher is the hardest of all, because yoga teachers have to be their own critics and correct their own practice. — B.K.S. Iyengar Contents Introduction 04 Section A Certification Structure 06 Section B Becoming a Teacher 09 Section C Criteria for Assessors 11 Section D Assessment Process 12 Section E Feedback 28 Section F Syllabus 29 Notes 44 FAQs 50 Appendix 61 Introduction Don’t be exclusive, be inclusive… not only in asana but every walk of life. – B.K.S. Iyengar Guruji was a believer in tradition but at the same time, he was a great revolutionary. He discovered new paths for imparting objective knowledge of a philosophical subject like yoga. Paramparã was important to him but he recognised that as the community grew larger, a different framework for teaching and assessment would be needed. Over the past few years, Geetaji and Prashantji repeatedly pointed out that assessments are losing their basic purpose and teacher training is becoming a business. Their observation and criticism have immense value in Iyengar Yoga. Their concerns have motivated us to dig deeper into the process of yoga teaching worldwide. On behalf of RIMYI, we elicited feedback on the current methodology of teaching and assessment. The response was overwhelming. Letters, mails, What’s apps, messages….every corner of the world had something to contribute. We, at the institute, have taken cognisance of every conceptual contribution offered.
