Learn yoga with us
At Yoga Mandir, we believe yoga is about developing a practice based on strong foundations. Our highly trained teachers deliver detailed instruction with the clarity and compassion that can only come from those who practice. Experience has value.
To become an Iyengar yoga teacher requires that you have developed as a student of yoga for a minimum of 3 years and then undergo a rigorous training for a further three years before sitting an assessment by an independent panel of assessors at the national level. Beyond this, teachers sit higher levels of certification by working alongside senior teachers in a mentoring relationship. This lineage-based system of learning ensures that teachers are systematic, accountable, and authentic.
Yoga Mandir’s system of learning provides a pathway that guides students with different levels of experience in their individual development. The use of props and modifications helps students to work to their own capacity and deal with injuries or other limitations. We see yoga as a lifelong practice.
