Before the course

As soon as you join the course, you will receive a welcome email. This also marks the beginning of the process to allocate you to a group.

The first meeting, set one day before the course starts, will open with a welcoming explanation of the course and an inspiring introduction by the founder Wissam Barakesh.

It is very likely that upon joining the course you will still have some time before the first meeting. You can take this time to prepare your account, join the open groups, start learning the ropes, familiarize with the modules, and even tackle the lessons. During this time you will be allocated to groups and get to know your Lead teacher. As soon as the teacher joins, they will engage you all in the group’s discussion board.

Daily

In a typical day you will find one of the two practice classes – Hatha or Vinyasa Flow in the afternoon, both accompanied with Pranayama and meditation; once a day you will do Yoga Nidra. There are a total of twelve different Hatha and Vinyasa lessons, 11 different meditations, and a single, polished, Pranayama routine, which will be thoughtfully combined to ensure your practice is both entertaining and fruit-bearing.

Theory-wise, there are classes on Yoga history, philosophy, anatomy, physiology, teaching methodology, ethics, and a substantial section on Yoga business.

Practicum

There will be weekly 4 hours live Zoom sessions, all four hours done in a single session. As per standard it is suggested to have it on Saturday mornings; however, this date will dependent entirely on your group’s agreement – it can be any time and any day of the week. You will be able to arrange it in your group’s discussion board.

The groups consist of 5 students, and each lead teacher will take care of three groups.

You will need to design a Hatha or Vinyasa Flow sequence for these classes, including approximately 25 minutes of asana, 10 minutes of pranayama, and 5 minutes of meditation.

In each call the Lead teacher will be there to guide you through the following:

• Teaching yoga to other students.
• Evaluating the teaching skills of other students. You will need to observe their teaching session and note any feedback you feel will be useful, which you will later share with them.
• Practicing yoga as instructed by your fellow students and teacher
• There will be a time for a guided discussion led by the Lead teacher, during which you can share your experiences, receive tasks, and build a tribe with other students.

You can use these Zoom meetings on the given time or another set timeline dependent on the group. If you miss any, you are allowed to submit a video recording of yourself teaching a class, which will count towards your required teaching hours.

If you miss a few meetings, and wish to joint live Zoom calls, you can purchase an additional group enrollment for a small fee, and attends the classes with another group.

You can use all these calls during your intended completion time only! After your allocated period you can purchase private lessons to contact with the teacher and assist you with any questions.
