Lara Favelle has been practicing yoga for eleven years, and has been a devotee of the Iyengar system since 2002 and commenced her formal training in 2005 with Simon Morrocco,a Senior Iyengar Association teacher. Lara taught yoga for several years around the Byron Bay area and developed a strong following over in that time. since then she has moved to Jurine Bay and established Jurien Bay Yoga. Lara is still in the early stages of a progression that may take decades to fulfil. Attending 4 Professional Development weekends per year, her intention is to continue to develop and improve as a practitioner and teacher for both her own well-being and to better educate her students.
As with all teachers in the Iyengar Yoga system Lara has studied under a Senior Teacher and mentor who has received direct training from the yoga master BKS Iyengar so that her understanding comes direct from the source of knowledge. This means that her teaching is faithful to the teaching of BKS Iyengar and is similar to all other Iyengar teachers throughout the world.
Lara holds a Level 2 certification from the BKS Iyengar Association of Australia.
As a requirement of becoming an Iyengar Yoga Teacher, all qualified teachers must successfully train in Anatomy and Physiology as well as maintain their senior first aid.
Constant interaction with a Senior Teachers and updating of skills ensures that Lara’s teaching stays up to date with the latest methods and ideas as recognised throughout the Iyengar Association.
