Teacher Development: Principles of Instruction — Twists in the Iyengar Method

June 28 | Livestream

Twists ask for precision, patience, and intelligent sequencing — and teaching them well requires an understanding of both their structural complexity and transformative potential.

In this Teacher Development workshop, Ann Appavoo offers a focused exploration of how twists are defined, practiced, and taught within the Iyengar method. Designed for yoga teachers and teachers-in-training, this session examines the mechanics of spinal rotation, the foundational principles that support safe and effective twisting, and the art of sequencing poses to prepare the body intelligently.

Teacher Development: Teaching with Precision — The Architecture of Standing Poses

July 24 | Livestream

What may appear to be separate standing poses are, in the Iyengar method, deeply interconnected studies in alignment, directionality, and intelligent action.

In this workshop, we’ll explore the architectural relationships between Virabhadrasana I, Utthita Trikonasana, and Utthita Parsvakonasana, examining how these forms emerge from shared principles of spinal organization, balanced extension, and directional movement.

Teacher Development: Teaching with Precision — Linking Standing Poses & Forward Folds

August 30 | Livestream

In the Iyengar method, the most skillful teaching often comes not from emphasizing difference, but from illuminating continuity.

This Teacher Development workshop explores the relationship between standing poses and forward bends as one connected continuum of action. Beginning with foundational standing forms — Tadasana, Vrksasana, and Utkatasana — participants will examine how consistent principles of alignment, directionality, and language carry seamlessly into lateral standing poses and forward extensions.
