Guruji BKS Iyengar has stated that it is less important how fast the syllabus is mastered, rather than how thoroughly. That ensures practice will be safe and effective.
The teacher can only respond and guide the class in front of him; each class of students is unique. Although I do have a rough idea of the syllabus in mind, the Preliminary Course syllabus has been modified and adapted to match the abilities of the class. These modifications have been noted in the sequences.
It takes about six months of class - and daily practice - to master the Intro syllabus, which is based on RIMYI Preliminary Course for Beginners, Weeks 1-14, but does not include Sirsasana, which is introduced in Week 11 in the Preliminary Course .
Namaste!
SweatyYaya is a blog created to help Yoga St. Louis Intro students with building a home practice. SweatyYaya is a memorable mispronunciation of the Sanskrit word: svadhyaya. Svadhyaya is the practice of self-study and is one of the niyamas (observances) presented in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.Disclaimer
