The 4 month break between the two sessions allows one to absorb and assimilate the curriculum material. It offers the time to deepen personal study and practice of the teachings. It gives the opportunity to develop and refine ones teaching skills and return to the ashram to complete the course with confidence. Individual and group zoom meetings will be held during the break to check up on progress, answer questions and address any concerns. During our time apart we will all keep in touch to share our inspiration and enthusiasm.

  • Explore making skillful sequencing choices and adaptations that will enhance your classes
