Who is this program for?
This program is for teacher trainees, certified teachers and experienced practitioners who want to take their practice & teaching to the next level.
It's for motivated and dedicated practitioners who want to continue to learn and develop their practice and OR teaching skills.
I know it takes a lot of drive and discipline to keep your practice at a high level which is required if you want to be a good teacher.
The program aims to keep the words fun and playful at its core.

What members say about the program
“It's a great way to start preparing for the assessment! One connects with asanas that are not commonly practiced and at the same time starts building more stamina to the practice and it's nice to get in touch with peers from all around the world that are on the same path. There's constant feedback between each other”
“I’m enjoying the peer practice program as a tool to grow within my practice and with my teaching. Getting to watch the replays if not able to attend the live sessions have been hugely beneficial. I’m starting to get more organised and I like how Kate breaks the assessment practice up so your not just doing the full sequence every time which I found very difficult when practicing the intro 2 syllabus. Practicing J1 has been more interesting and fun. Thanks, Kate, for creating this community within the Iyengar system as we all know how hard it is as well as rewarding. ”
“How amazing to connect with a group of people from all over the world, there's something especially great about seeing everyone's floors /living rooms & corridors for practicing in! Knowing there is a community I can practice with, and hold myself accountable with, has been incredibly important for me. ”

Disclaimer
This is not a teacher training program and the hours accrued in this program cannot be counted for teacher training hours. I am NOT a certified teacher trainer.
I am a certified Junior Intermediate 1 teacher with heaps of drive, passion, teaching experience and love to share and support others in their yoga practice.
This program is a peer program and relies on committed and engaged practitioners to share their experiences with the group.
In an ideal world, we would be practicing with our peers at the studio, but many of us are isolated or alone in our studies, so this is where the PPP fills that gap.
We practice, study, learn, discuss and share together to create community and support each other.
