5.0 Pahlavani follow along routine and progression standard

The Pahlavani Fundamentals follow along practice session follows the routine outlined in the Pahlavani Persian Yoga Fundamentals Routine.

Progression standards

The progression standards chart has been designed to guide you on your journey towards gaining the strength and stamina required for progressing to the more advanced exercises and routines in the practice of Persian Yoga,  it will get much more advanced and challenging as you progress, so you need to build a solid foundation of strength, stamina and flexibility (including all other skills) to be able to execute the more advanced series of exercises and variations. 

If you meet these standards why not explore our intermediate (Variations – Level 2) and advanced (Combinations- Level 3) workshops and routines.

Next steps

To attain a Certificate of Competency, and be recognised by Persian Yoga and the International Zurkhaneh Sports Federation (IZSF) as a teacher and instructor, you must attend the Persian Yoga Level 1 workshop, or do the workshop online via video, and pass a live competency exam demonstrating your mastery of the moves, exercises and routines as well as the ability to coach others, in a group training setting, within 1-3 months after taking the actual or virtual (online) workshop. 

Each component, exercise and variation as presented in this manual is assessed.

Test-outs can be done via video-conferencing or pre-recorded video submissions. We also offer supervised, face to face and online, observation and coaching. Contact us for further information.
