200 HOUR TEACHER'S TRAINING
Yoga Shala Reykjavik‘s 200 hour Yoga teacher‘s training program is a level 1 program, approved by the Yoga Alliance institute and the Icelandic association of Yoga teachers.
The program is a foundational Yoga teacher training program for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of Yoga and acquire the skills to take their own personal practice to another level and/or guide others in their own practice.
The program will primarily be taught in Icelandic but all students will be able to choose the language of study material (Icelandic or English).
During the teacher’s training our emphasis will be set on learning the basics of Vinyasa (Yoga Flow).
Using Vinyasa as a foundation in your own practice and what you might teach others in the future, is a versatile and flexible methodology that you'll be able to build upon after your own taste.
In a nutshell, Vinyasa connects breathing, movement and body postures. In the teacher’s training program, we will research multiple yogic practices that you will be able to use for your self or introduce to your future students. It is our experience that this foundation enables Yogis to flourish in their own practice.

An opening ceremony will be held on September 13th, 2024 and graduation will be about 9 months later.
We will meet on Fridays (16:00-19:00), Saturdays (09:00-18:00) and Sundays (09:00-17:00) with a one-hour lunch break in between. You’ll find that the program's curriculum is versatile and extensive, so don't be surprised if you'll feel a need to look inward, and go through personal journey of self-assessment. With the tools of Yoga every person is able to grow.
Although a personal journey for each and every student, your fellow classmates will be with you on this journey. Together you will work as a team, learn and progress together towards graduating as fellow Yoga teachers.
The main teachers of the program are Ingibjörg Stefánsdóttir and Klara Kalkusova.
Together, they have many decades of experience practicing and guiding others on their Yogic path. They have a great passion for teaching people about Yoga and enabling them to utilize their own personal strength in Yoga.
More teachers will also join as guest lecturers.
