New level designations:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After about 40 years of the old system, some time ago our mother institute (RIMYI in Pune, India) changed the structure and designation of the certificates for Iyengar Yoga teachers. There are now Level-1, -2, -3, -4 and -5 certificates. For the sake of clarity, we are hereby changing our names for the iYoga course levels (previously \"Level-1, -2 etc.) as follows<\/em>:<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gs:<\/mark> Yoga for health problems<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a number of health problems, you can join the normal class without any problems. Inform the teacher before a yoga class about existing restrictions (pain in the neck, knee problems, back pain, menstruation, etc.) and you will then be offered alternatives and assistance in class if necessary. For more serious restrictions, injuries or illnesses, you can arrange a private lesson (see below). The first step: a personal consultation (by telephone if necessary). We will clarify the route to be taken and arrange a (first) appointment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
