In his classes
Strict but caring: high energy, precise and personal.
What it’s like to be taught by Mr. Ian.
- He corrects you by name.Even in a full room he watches individual alignment and gives specific feedback.
- The dialogue is exact.Every cue is delivered word for word, with the timing that makes the class flow.
- Rest is allowed.Beginners are told that sitting down in the heat is part of learning, not failing.
- He coaches the person, not just the posture.Many graduates say his teaching felt like life coaching as much as yoga.
- “The instructor Mr. Ian is like no other. When I walked in I couldn’t even touch my toes. By the time I was done I was able to execute every position fully.”
Chris Kusznir, United States
- “dany yoga credits Mr. Ian Terry with working less like a strict Bikram instructor and more like a life coach.”
From YogaFX graduate reviews
His method
In every YogaFX MasterClass, Mr. Ian follows the same teaching method.
How he trains new teachers.
- Practice
Two hot classes a day with real students, so trainees feel every posture from the inside.
- Posture clinics
Each posture broken down for anatomy, alignment, common mistakes and safe corrections.
- Dialogue drills
Line by line, until the full Standing and Floor Series can be delivered from memory.
- Teach, get feedback, teach again
Trainees teach segments, then full classes, with real-time feedback from Mr. Ian.
- Track the progress
A training chart follows each trainee through the week.
- Assess
By the final day, every trainee has delivered the full 26-posture, 2-breathing-exercise sequence under his direct observation.
Because cohorts are capped at 19, nobody hides at the back of the room.
