Britta Poisson

 
Britta discovered yoga while completing her undergraduate in communication studies, film and art. A serendipitous move to Victoria in 1997 introduced her to the textured beauty of the west coast and a vibrant community of Iyengar yoga practitioners. From her very first class with Linda Benn, she knew she was home.
Britta had just begun formal training as an Iyengar teacher when the Centre opened its own studio in 2001. She accepted an administrative position and to this day finds delight in welcoming everyone to the Centre. She sits on the programming committee, where we team up to host some of the finest Iyengar teachers in the world.
Her professional teaching journey is inspired by the ingenuity of her teachers Shirley Daventry French, Ann Kilbertus, and Chris Saudek.
Britta’s approach to yoga draws from the wisdom of its philosophy and explores how sequencing unlocks the transformative, healing power of this science and art. Her teaching is infused with warmth, laughter and creativity.

Teacher Education

Are you interested in becoming an Iyengar yoga teacher?  The first thing to do is to talk to your own certified Iyengar Yoga teacher for guidance.  In our system, one follows an apprenticeship process, either with one’s own certified Iyengar Yoga teacher, or with another certified Iyengar Yoga  teacher (introduced to you by your regular teacher).
