THREE IYENGAR
WEEKEND
WORKSHOPS
with Betty Larsen
& John
Charping
Fridays:
6:30 - 9:30 p.m.
Saturdays: 9:00 a.m. - 12 noon
2:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Sundays: 9:00 a.m. - 12 noon
This series of
workshops is designed for teachers
and experienced practitioners. All three workshops are
based on the Iyengar method with an emphasis on using
precise, in-depth, anatomically efficient postural alignment in the
poses while building strength, flexibility and balance. Although
it is best to participate in all three workshops
to receive the fullest benefit, each workshop may stand alone as a
learning experience, especially for those who have had some
Iyengar experience.

Teaching Hatha
Yoga I: Iyengar Basics
(9 hours
techniques, 3 hours Anatomy & Physiology)
This experiential workshop presenting the “Five
Basic
Elements” of
practicing and teaching asana is the first in a series of
three workshops focusing on expanding your teaching skills and
deepening your personal asana practice. The use of
props (blocks, straps, chairs, blankets, mats, etc.) in the Iyengar
method will be introduced.
March 3-5, 2006
Teaching
Hatha Yoga II:
Iyengar Principles of
Alignment
(9 hours
techniques, 3 hours Anatomy & Physiology)
In this second experiential workshop
using the Iyengar method, 14
principles of alignment for teaching and practicing asana are
addressed. Once again, an anatomically and physiologically based
teaching
approach is used to develop a deeper understanding of the postures
through a thorough examination of Iyengar alignment principles.
March 31-April 2,
2006
Teaching Hatha Yoga III:
An Iyengar Sequential
Approach
(9 hours
teaching methodology, 3 hours philosophy)
In this third workshop, a precise
step-by-step process for teaching
asana from the Iyengar approach is presented. Therefore, this
workshop is primarily designed for yoga teachers and those who aspire
to teach. Even though the sequential approach presented in the
workshop focuses on the teaching, it also inherently lends
itself to deepening one’s own personal practice due to the nature of
learning and practicing the process itself.

certified yoga instructor and
co-director of the prestigious Southern
Institute for Yoga Instructors (SIYI). She
studied with B.K.S. Iyengar in Pune, India and has continued her
training with Geeta Iyengar and Ramanand Patel. Betty brings to her
teaching a deep understanding of human behavior and a thorough
knowledge of the human body through her art work of sculpting the human
figure.

Ph.D., is co-director of the Southern
Institute for Yoga Instructors.
He has studied with numerous internationally renowned Iyengar teachers,
with Ramanand Patel as his primary teacher. John was a professor in a
