How to Be Successful In This Course

Hello Yogis,


Here are my suggestions on being successful in this course:


1) Order all materials in advance that you know you will need. You can get more details about them in the Beginning of this Journey Together section of this training.

2) You will receive an online resource for your Yoga History and Philosophy sections with me. Please be on the lookout for an email from TYS. You may print this out or keep it online.

Please see all of the pre-reading requisites in the website - they do vary from student to student depending on if you've already taken a training course with davannayoga.

3) Print out the Main Manual, the Sequence Chart, the History chart, and the Restorative Manual. OR be eco-friendly and keep them online.

4) For the restorative portion of this course you will need 2 blocks, 2 blankets, 1-2 bolsters and a long, double D ring strap. Improvising is ok too. You can use large/long cushions or long pillows, long series of kitchen towels for a strap, heavy books for blocks or sturdy square cushions.

5) for the Ayurveda/Ayuryoga portion of this course you will need a neti pot, tongue scraper kit. We sell them at davannayoga for 500 pesos if you don't have one. (25$) Please reserve yours in advance.



Daily you will need time for:

A) Day Work (practices, reading and prep work for the online gathering) allow 2-3 hours

B) Online Gathering - 4-5 hours - you should show up for the majority of these. We will send the recordings to those who can't make it (technology providing) but can't always guarantee them to be sent in a timely manner. They also only last for 1-2 days on zoom. If you're taking the course not to teach, but to deepen your knowledge, you can do more self-paced work. If you're planning to teach, please try to be at the Online Gatherings as much as possible.

C) Evening Work (reading, practices and prep work for following day's online gathering - some of this may be repeated in the following days "day work" ) allow 1-2 hours

D) Evening Sadhana (you may prefer to do this in the mornings) which begins about day 3. Includes self practice of: pranayama, meditation, contemplation on 2 yamas or niyamas. This is an important part of the training as it helps you to build your Yogic Lifestyle. Allow 30-40 mins.


Because this is an online course you are not pushed to graduate on the date given for the end of the course. You can self-pace and finish within one year of starting. During the course time, Anna will send you recordings of any online gatherings you have missed.


IMPORTANT! You MUST complete all parts of the online training (watch all videos, take all quizzes, read all texts) and send in the video of you teaching the Master Sequence to be considered a graduate of davannayoga (receive your certificate of completion) You have up to one year to do this from the start date, however the materials will remain accessible, long after this. It's ok not to graduate with the group you started with. Sometimes life gets busy.


Remember to read the Online Curriculum for details on your essays.


How Do I know when I'm DONE?

  • Your video is sent in of you teaching the Master Sequence
  • Essays are completed
  • All Videos, days lessons, texts and and all quizzes in the teachable platform are completed or other platform offered for the Asynchronous teachings.


When you are ready to register with the Yoga Alliance, have a copy ready of your completion certificate electronically to share with the Yoga Alliance. www.yogaallinace.org


I am happy to help in any way and look forward to leading you in this wonderful yoga journey.


Om Shanti,

Anna
