IMIYA supports members by helping them attend classes, workshops, and annual conventions. We also support aspiring teachers.
IMIYA provides grants to members who need financial support to increase access to education, training, and events.

Grants are awarded to active members usually twice a year. Grant funds can be used to attend classes, workshops, and IYNAUS conventions. They can also be used to support aspiring teachers in the assessment process or to provide a workshop to students.

  • Because of the generosity of an Intermountain Iyengar Association Grant

    I attended a 3-day workshop conducted by a Level 3 CIYT. Sharing this immersive experience in a wider Iyengar community not only deepened my own practice but gave me invaluable education and understanding to support my own Intermountain Iyengar community. I am truly grateful.”

  • I want to encourage members to apply for a grant through IMIYA. 

    There are lots of ways that even a small amount can go a long way in promoting Iyengar Yoga teachers and in supporting yoga as taught by BKS Iyengar.

    A few years ago, I offered a free yoga class in Spanish when I received grant money to help fund the class.  I would also like to encourage members to apply for a grant to help off-set the cost of the actual assessment or for teacher training or classes leading up to assessment.
