As the course is fully, online, access to a digital device with a microphone and camera as well as reliable internet access will be required. If you have personal blankets, bolsters, and sitting cushions that would make you more comfortable, please have them available.

Although this course is designed for yoga teachers, any yoga practitioner is welcome. There will be components of teaching the techniques to other participants in which non-teachers are invited to participate. This is not required for non-teachers and may be used as a break instead.

In order to receive Yoga Alliance CEUs, yoga teachers must attend all sessions live with their video on and participate in the teaching techniques.

This workshop is available for 17 hours of contact CEUs through Yoga Alliance for yoga teachers who participate in the whole training.
