YOGA STUDY PLAN 2009-2010

After two years in Merida, Semilla Yoga has grown and is now offering an original plan of study open to all students, teachers and individuals interested in exploring various aspects of yoga.

Using the method of BKS Iyengar as its core, this series of classes was designed to help students structure their personal practice as well as enrich and deepen their understanding of the discipline of yoga. Beginning May 23, 2009, the curriculum consists of 9 intensive workshops organized into 3 periods which will continue into 2010.

Each period will include work in the three basic branches of yoga practice: philosophy, postures (Asanas) and breathing techniques (Pranayama). The workshops are scheduled for one Saturday each month with the hope that students from all around the country will join us. All classes will be held at Semilla Yoga in Merida. The workshops may be taken singly or as a package of 3. Practicing students who hope to eventually become certified Iyengar Yoga teachers will be able to apply the classroom hours from any or all of this year of study toward their requirements for teacher training.
