It’s OVER!!!

Filed under: Assessment, Iyengar, Misc. Musings — bb @ 5:35 pm

Hello All,

Thank you so much for all your support with this Iyengar Teaching Certification Assessment. I took the written and performance examinations on Friday and did the Teaching Assessment this morning. All went well. I was over prepared for the written exam, performance went fine (I wore knee supports) and I was calm and ended on time in my teaching. Now I am resting in my Austin hotel room. A bit wired/tired.  Not much sleep last night (preparing and up early). I return home on Sunday night.

Ina is teaching Sunday’s 9:30 General Level Class.

I find out if I Pass or Fail on Sunday night. Check back here then or on Monday for the results.

If I pass, I will be officially a “Teacher in Training/Introductory 1″ in the Iyengar System. I will need to take another assessment within the next two years to become a fully Certified Iyengar Yoga Instructor.

Thank you to everyone who have helped me in this process. More next week. I have lots of ideas for future classes and programs. Don’t forget to sign up for the Beginner’s Series. It starts next Friday. It will show you what I’ve learned in this process.

Hari OM Tat Sat
