For advanced Iyengar yoga practitioners at Yogaschool Amsterdam 2024 – 2025

In Yogaschool Amsterdam there is room for the advanced Iyengar yoga practitioner as well as certified Iyengar yoga teachers (CIYT). In the regular class schedule, you find one Advanced class per week. We also offer space for your personal practice on Thursday mornings. Do you want more? There is!

If you express the desire to become an Iyengar yoga teacher, Kristien (Level 3 teacher since 2012) will discuss with you whether you can be trained by her. This is possible if you have followed Iyengar yoga lessons for at least three years. Such a training lasts at least three years and is called ‘mentorship’. Because you work alone or in a small group, your trajectory can start at any time during the year. What is expected of you then?

• Attend regular classes at least 3 times a week at the school. One of the three classes must be a Beginners class, which you will soon assist.
• Set up a personal practice
• Read the books of the Iyengars
• Take theory classes and do homework assignments
• Take the Beginners class online from the mother institute in Pune with Kristien
• Take workshops, advanced courses or YogAteliers
• Become a member of the Iyengar Yoga Association Netherlands

Kristien offers the ‘YOGATELIERS‘ to Iyengar yoga practitioners who want to become a teacher or are already a CIYT teacher and want to take the next step. Even if you don’t want to become a teacher and simply like to do more Iyengar yoga, you are very welcome. The syllabi of Level 1 and 2 are being worked on and the participants who are in training are given the opportunity to practice teaching. Five Sundays (dates, see below) the YogAteliers take place in the hall of Iyengar Yoga Antwerp. The last Sunday this year is in Amsterdam.

Also inform yourself about the ‘In-depth course‘ in Utrecht where Hiske van der Meulen, Kerry Reinking, Nanda Peek and Kristien (2024: 14-15/12 en 2025: 08-09/03) each teach for four days.

Two WORKSHOPS in the Yogaschool this year:

• ‘After Christmas’ from 27 to 30 December 2024
• ‘March workshop’ when Kristien is back on Amsterdam soil after her study trip to the mother institute in Pune, on 14 and 15 March 2025.

Could I join?

You can participate in all of the above activities if you have followed two years of regular Iyengar yoga classes. In Yogaschool Amsterdam we create an atmosphere where everyone can learn from and with each other. After all, you are primarily an Iyengar yoga practitioner.
