When? The ideal time to take the course is when you're clearheaded and can set aside a good hour of time in your day to really focus on the material. It is recommended that you do the 22 sections on 22 consecutive days so as to maintain consistency and get the most out of the presentation. However, if that is not possible, know that once purchased, the course is yours, and you can return to it any time you wish.
Where? A nice, cozy, secluded spot would be ideal, especially if you have a laptop. In the middle of Grand Central Station if you really want to test your yogic powers of concentration!
* Graduates of this course will also receive an online certificate from Yoga University acknowledging that you have successfully completed the program. This program is the equivalent of 40 Hours of a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program through Yoga University, and can be transferred if you choose to take a full 200 Hour Yoga TT with Y.U. in the future. It can also be taken for Continuing Education Units through Yoga Alliance.*
* This course is currently in its beta stage of development and is thus priced approximately a quarter of its true value. Once all of the kinks are worked out, the price will match its value accordingly.
~ This Course is dedicated to one of the great contemporary scholars of yoga, Georg Feuerstein (1947-2012), who I never met but consider my teacher. His work has been deeply inspiring for me, and for others who will continue where he left off. ~
"Questimonials"
"I just read through the first course and took notes. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the you personality in it. It's good because it doesn't seem as if I'm reading another boring lecture, but instead, genuineness...and so I learn. I love how you ask questions throughout that allows room for reflection. I don't see anything that can be improved because everything is perfect as is."
