Iyengar Yoga Teacher – Janet MacLeod

In my eyes, the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco is a place of vast knowledge. And the Advance Teacher training program consists of pranayama, anatomy, physiology, philosophy, apprenticeships, teaching skills, personal yoga practice skills, and a wonderful community of highly skilled advanced senior iyengar yoga teachers.

Janet MacLeod:
Janet …a kiss to you (smile). I apprenticed under Janet MacLeod. Like all of these teachers, Janet studies under the sensitive eye of B.K.S. Iyengar. She has the ability to get you into a pose without you even noticing ….She is vast in her knowledge yet gives the right knowledge at the right time. And, there’s a sense of humor that will make you smile.
