Are their pre-requisites?
The only pre-requisite is a basic understanding and practice of Yoga, a sincere desire to learn and grow with a commitment to practicing and applying the transformative aspects of Yoga along with an application and a chat with Christy Lynn to make sure this training is a good fit for everyone involved.​

​
Is this training heavily asana (or pose) based?
No, it is not. We will explore asana, for sure. But this training is not about learning 'harder' or 'more advanced' poses. Yoga was never meant to be just a physical exercise program. It was designed to help the mind find harmony in a dualistic world. The poses are for moving the spine, which is very necessary, and to help us find a steady yet relaxed posture (or attitude) in body, mind and spirit so that prana (or vital life force energy) can flow so we get clear on the life we desire with the ability to handle the ups and downs of life while as we create that life. Yoga is a way of being, not a workout. You will definitely learn about the poses and how to teach them in an intelligent way, for sure. But more importantly, you will gain an understanding of asana as an integral, yet small part of the holistic practice of Yoga which addresses the physical, physiological, mental/emotional, philosophical, relational and spiritual aspects of one's life. As such, any injuries or limitations are welcome in this training. We will be customizing practices for everyone so you get the opportunity to see how to modify and adapt practices for yourself and different constitutions, situations and desires.
​
What if I need to miss a day or an entire weekend?
Of course, it is best if you can attend as much of the course as possible to get the most benefit. AND, life is in session for everyone. Things happen. If you want to attend this training but have to miss some days or even an entire weekend, there are ways we can get you caught up! First, you will meet with someone (or several someones) in your cohort to get notes and have them go over the missed material with you. This benefits everyone because those that were able to attend get the opportunity to review the material and share it as part of their own understanding, integration and practicum. In the next session you attend, you can ask any additional questions for all of us to help you with which will likely help everyone. Since this training is immersive and relationship based, you will also have time with Christy during the breaks to get caught up. Usually this does the trick because we do a lot of review each session to really let the material sink in. However, if you feel you still need support after the above, you can book a private session with Christy for a reduced rate or for work/trade. And finally, if you really want to take the entire module, you can take it the next year it is offered for a reduced fee.
​
*Due to the considerable amount of scheduling, booking, and preparation required for each module, all module payments are non-refundable. Please understand that if you have to miss a weekend, you will still be expected to pay for the training in order to receive all the notes, mentorship and certification upon completion of the course. This training is based on a relationship between you and Christy Lynn, so please know that she will do her absolute best to make sure you get the support needed in order for you to feel caught up on the material. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!​​​​
