Hi Paul,
I received my diploma today and it is a beautiful document for framing, one which gives me great pride. I enjoyed my training with Aura being completely supported with materials, information, and knowing that help was only an email away. I worked with a local yoga teacher in helping me with my form, sequencing, and cueing. Practice, practice, practice is the key. Practicing with as many different groups, both adults and children, was very helpful for me in developing my style.
My focus is teaching children, but it was very helpful working with adults. I began a Lunchtime class at my university for faculty and staff and that was very helpful training. They were willing to come because the class was free and I let them know that I was practicing my skills on them. Being proactive in creating training situations for myself helped me in the learning process.
Reading the textbooks was informative and enjoyable and I learned a lot. The training was a step-by-step process and I took full advantage of the year that I had to complete all of the steps.
Take care and be blessed. Keep up the good work and keep the articles coming.
Namaste,
