View in browser News and Upcoming programs October 2020 Dear Sanga, Warm greetings from the shores of Chennai! It seems like ages since I got in touch with you through this forum. It has been a few packed months for many of us moving into the online teaching/training platform! We are happy to see that students from different parts of the world and walks of life are able to access personalised yoga classes with our teachers and therapists spread across different time zones. As teachers, we are also able to spend more dedicated time to come together, study and learn. We are beginning to embrace the new platform and its immense possibilities with mindfulness, one step at a time! Our first fully community driven project "Yoga for COVID - Prevention & Recovery" is in full swing with currently over 100 teachers, therapists and trainees, across 5 generations from across the world who have come together to teach yoga one-on-one to people seeking preventive care and recovery from COVID-19. We come together every Saturday afternoon to share our learning and keep this enthusiasm for collective learning and growth alive! Please visit our website for a detailed report and case studies that speak of our work.  For more details and registration click here Our Yoga Acharya 2018-20 batch, after 2 years of hard and committed work, graduated in July. Usually we have a grand graduation ceremony but this time it was solemn and quiet, everyone received their certificates over email! This group did some amazing work with their community outreach, a short video of their work for you to savour and bless the graduates in the endeavour as they move out into the world of teaching and deeper learning. And, oh yes! We are very happy to announce our first scientific paper has been published in IJYT (International Journal of Yoga Therapy) and listed on PUBMED.

I am deeply grateful for our lovely, harmonious training team and the students who were so committed to the whole process all through!  Register NOW! for our next Yoga Vaidya batch starting in July 2021. We are currently running the fully online Yoga Prayogam which is a foundation program for Yoga Vaidya.  The next Yoga Prayogam is scheduled for January 2021. A few people from time zones behind GMT were not able to join the current batch, so the January program will have a more suitable timing for those in the -GMT time zone.

This month we are rolling out the 250 hour Yoga Instructor Training Program which is the Level 1 teacher training program that is going to be mostly online with a flexible plan for an in-person module in March/June 2021.
