When we started training instructors, we taught local instructors in person and long-distance instructors via conference call. Over time, we discovered that the long-distance program is a more powerful platform than in-person training because instead of just showing up to learn on a given day, participants are required to really devote time to preparing for and participating in the webinars/calls.
We always say that a good instructor will tell you what to do and a great instructor will tell you how it feels. By studying on your own, you are afforded the opportunity to pay attention to sensation and God’s quiet still voice while on your mat. The training lays all of the physical foundations and mechanics of understanding, from both a yoga perspective and a ministry facilitation perspective.
