Carrie Owerko – Iyengar Yoga 201

Building on the wild success of our Iyengar 101 course with senior Iyengar Yoga teacher Carrie Owerko, Yoga Journal is happy to announce the creation of Iyengar 201. This six-week experience will move into more advanced adaptations of poses, emphasize their therapeutic applications, and of course highlight Carrie’s playful take on the alignment-oriented lineage that B.K.S. Iyengar brought to the West.

In this six-week online course, you will explore how a playful approach to practice develops a sense of possibility, increasing your capacity for variability and, most importantly, resilience. To advance your practice and poses, Carrie will help you learn different pose modifications that are designed to help you work with physical and mental challenges, even injury. You will also explore how varying the focus, or how you approach an asana, can greatly impact your experience of that asana, and yourself in that asana. If you teach yoga, you’ll learn how to make even some of the most challenging poses more accessible to a wider variety of students. As Carrie says, “In Iyengar Yoga, there is a way!”

But advanced yoga is not only about the physical practice. While this course will improve your asana, it will help you step off the mat with a greater capacity to adapt and adjust to whatever life throws at you. You’ll learn something unexpected every day and grow as a person and a practitioner.
