I just finished the 101: Level 1 Orientation and felt so happy to have selected DYWM for my training. The orientation set up the expectations for students and faculty so we can fulfill our responsibilities to ourselves and each other in a trustworthy way. Clarity is such a key component of trusting relationships and good learning. You have provided both. It gives me hope that your course will apply these rigorous standards throughout the course. I look forward to the rest. (I do wish the Google Docs were named so they downloaded in chronological order.)

The 101: Level 1 Orientation took me about 45 minutes to complete, and there was so much useful information packed into it. Rachel and David break down everything for you, and you can even look at a weekly/course breakdown of everything you'll be going over in the syllabus. As someone considering a YTT to deepen my practice, this orientation has given me the most free information and value so far and I'm now seriously considering giving it a go.

David is the visionary behind DoYogaWithMe, a transformative platform with a global reach of over 300,000 active users.
