Until the restrictions due to COVID-19 improves and keeping everyone’s safety in mind, the teacher training will be offered Online.

Now you can value the time saved on traveling to the Institute and use the opportunity to prepare for the sessions by setting aside some time to connect with what you want to cultivate and align within your practice and theory classes so that you are physically and mentally prepared to benefit from the Online sessions fully.

Make a space in your home into a sanctuary to inspire and develop a consistent home practice that will take you through the teacher training weekends and beyond. This is the journey that you have started when you enroll to study further through this program.

The teacher training sessions will comprise detailed instruction from your mentors, Q, and A sessions, and practical and theoretical assignments. These interactive components will optimize your learning experience and guide you in your study. Recordings of the practical sessions will be available for review for two weeks after each session.
In this way, the teacher training program is enriched with enough contact hours with the mentors, online, to ensure steady progress.

With the situation that we are now in, it is essential for your well-being and peace of mind that you continue to work on your growth and development, which is what this study will guide you in.
We will continue assessing the situation and adjusting the program whenever possible.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Hello Everyone,

I hope all is going well with you and yours during these challenging times. It’s been a while since the last update.

As I cope and navigate through the uncertainty of the times, I have had to assess and reassess how best to keep the Yoga Institute going while it weathers through unprecedented financial hardship. After much consideration, I see as an only reasonable action to continue giving lessons online until the situation improves.

This decision is a big shift for me, too, and I am adapting to the situation as it evolves. I understand some of you may find it difficult to accept the measures that we have been forced to take, and the fact of taking lessons through a screen. But on the other hand, what I noticed in this new experience is that because of the limited number of students in the classes, I can observe more closely each participant on the screen and offer more detailed individual attention. Let’s remember: change can be the catalyst to learn, grow, adapt, and gain new insights.

With online classes, the home has to be your pop-up yoga studio. The adage “home is where the heart is” can’t be more significant than now; you can create a sanctuary for your well-being and peace of mind. The time saved on travel can spare you stress and can be used to prepare and focus on your yoga journey.

You do not need a computer or a laptop – all you need is a camera and a screen, so your phone is good enough. My lessons are clear and easy to follow. And I will give individual attention to each of you.

Suppose you do not have props, no worries. Iyengar used what he had around him to help people; I’m sure you’ll find your way into it.

Here are a few suggestions for props:
Blocks: Hard-cover books of the same size, fill up a shoe box with softcover books
Yoga belts: Belts, ropes, scarves
Bolsters: 3-4 Blankets and/or large towels in a pillow-case to replace bolsters, sofa cushions

Yoga is about finding balance and equilibrium, embracing life’s challenges. All you need at this moment is your body, your mind and your breath. I aim to create a virtual community to continue our Yoga journey in which we will support each other. In the current time and current technology, the teacher comes into your home!

”The body is my temple, asanas are my prayers.” BKS Iyengar

With love and gratitude for your support,

Delilah
