Students who wish to develop their home practice are encouraged to attend the practitioner development workshops.
The 4 hour workshops explore the different groups of poses, for example, standing poses, backbends, forward bends and the effective use of props to access the poses effectively.
Sessions explore the 'elemental' experiences of earth (weight) water (flow/direction) fire (heat, intensity, friction/grip) air (mind state) space (spatial dimension of form and inner space, including within joints and for organ function.
Sessions are practical and experiential and participants are able to ask questions and explore issues they have in their home practice.

Within the Iyengar tradition, trainees must have completed at least 300 hours of Teacher Training and 100 hours of assisting in classes, to be eligible to sit an assessment at Level 1 Teacher Certification. This level of certification allows you to teach as a recognised Iyengar Yoga teacher and make use of the Iyengar Certification Mark.
The Iyengar Yoga Association requires that a candidate for assessment is formally referred by their training teacher. Referral (by Polly) of a trainee for
assessment is provided once a trainee demonstrates a capacity to teach and practice at the required level. Many trainees take longer than they anticipate to develop the required capacity, whilst others achieve readiness in a shorter period of time. Hence it is critical to note that readiness to be referred for assessment, is not determined by completing hours of training.
“Assessment” is better understood as a ritual rite of passage.
If you are interested to apply for a teacher traineeship
with Polly, please email via the school to set up a time to meet with Polly.
