Good news from IYNAUS

2011-11-10T16:20:00.000-08:00

Beginning in November 2011, Certified Iyengar Yoga Teachers will have the option of joining Yoga Alliance (YA) through IYNAUS (Iyengar Yoga National Association of the United States) when paying their annual dues. Only teachers who register through IYNAUS will be listed as “Iyengar Yoga teachers” on the Yoga Alliance registry and website. All certified Iyengar Yoga teachers will be "grandfathered in" at the 500-hour level. Depending on their level of certification within the Iyengar system, teachers will be registered as either 500 RYT or 500 E-RYT.

Meaning, when I find the time and money to pay YA (annual fee of $60), I will put RYT500 after my name too...

What kind of training has your teacher had?

2011-07-12T11:52:00.000-07:00

A part of an article by John Schumacher

...How can you tell what your teacher(s)’ training and qualifications are? Ask! You ask questions when you shop for anything else, don’t you? If the teacher evades or resents your questions, find another teacher. S/he should be happy and proud to give you his/her qualifications. To go a step further, don’t be satisfied with just seeing some letters after a teacher’s name. For instance, lots of teachers have RYT200 or RYT500 after their name. What’s that mean? RYT is a designation from an organization called the Yoga Alliance that means Registered Yoga Teacher. It does NOT mean they are certified. Despite suppositions to the contrary, Yoga Alliance is not a certifying body. It registers teachers as having completed 200 or 500 hours of some kind of study. That training can vary widely and is not really monitored in any thorough or systematic way...

Study: Iyengar yoga relieves CLBP

2011-03-01T10:03:00.000-08:00

Evaluation of the effectiveness and efficacy of Iyengar yoga therapy on chronic low back pain (CLBP).

Abstract
The effectiveness and efficacy of Iyengar yoga for chronic low back pain were assessed with intention-to-treat and per-protocol analysis.

CONCLUSION:
Yoga improves functional disability, pain intensity, and depression in adults with CLBP. There was also a clinically important trend for the yoga group to reduce their pain medication usage compared to the control group.
