This course is huge. It contains 11 chapters of rich material that will transform the way you practice and teach. It is comparable to a 30 hour week-long workshop – except you have everything recorded to watch over and over.
One year. We want you to feel spacious with time, so your enrollment in the Yoga Myths includes one full year to access to the online course materials.
In a word: absolutely. We think you will find this new course valuable. While Judith teaches from the same anatomical and kinesiological principles, "Yoga Myths" is organized around unlearning and rewiring old harmful habits.
It depends. Some students will focus on one chapter a week, completing the course in 11 weeks, giving themselves time to integrate the learning into their bodies. Others will move more quickly. In total, you can expect to devote around 50 hours to the course material.
The required text is Judith's book, "Yoga Myths: What You Need to Learn and Unlearn for a Safe and Healthy Yoga Practice". Also you will need the following props: 1 sticky mat, 1 bolster, 1 eye cover, 2 blocks, and 5 firm blankets.
Yes. At the end of the course you will receive a certificate of completion for 50 non-contact hours. After that, you can submit for continuing education credit from Yoga Alliance or equivalent organization.
No worries, this course is designed to be as easy to navigate as possible. Plus we are always here to help with technical questions via email. There is no Facebook group for this course.
We want you to be 100% delighted with your learning experience. If for any reason, you're disappointed after the first week of the course, we will be happy to issue a full refund.
