With the advent of video technologies, I accepted to teach individual students Yoga lessons online, but solely within a one-to-one context. From a decade of experiencing this medium as a tool for transmission, I found it offered a valuable means of both working individually, whilst offering a worldwide communal access to the Yoga teachings accumulated from my decades-long studentship with TKV Desikachar. From this process, I am now offering online modularised programmes in both Yoga Practice Techniques and Associated Yoga Texts. However, this also means that all the online Modules are facilitated solely through one-to-one meetings and live discussions between us. From within this shared setting, we can mutually explore the chosen topic together and a personalised relationship can arise, supported by extensive student workbooks adapted from my live small study group modules. This way, we proceed with each step being taken in accordance with the student’s understanding live-linked in present time to the teacher’s guidance. As such, all the online sessions do not require viewing any pre-recorded video or sound files, nor accessing any downloadable material to be viewed remotely in one’s own time. Furthermore, as within the more customary Indian student-teacher learning paradigm, there is no advance reading nor homework, only the immediacy of the sharing inspiring a sense of reflection that follows on from the live connection. Here assimilation is the aim, in terms of a sustained holding onto the theme of the session. To support this intention, our sessions can be recorded solely for your own personal reference. Plus, as the Module progresses there is space at the beginning of each session to allow time for a review and to accommodate any questions or observations that may have arisen between the meetings. Finally, there is no written work to be completed either before or after our meetings, nor will there be any course completion credits offered. The priority instead is the sense of a continuation, realised through the aim of individual tuition, reflecting the fundamentals of T Krishnamacharya’s and TKV Desikachar’s teaching. Namely, transmission occurs through the shared experience of the teacher and the student through one-to-one meetings, whether for developing a personalised Yoga practice, engaging in reflective study or refining teaching skills. |

Online 121 Practice & Textual eStudy Modular Duration, Fees and Commencement
All the online Modules are offered to students in the form of nine 121 meetings via Skype, FaceTime, or another compatible live link video medium, to allow for a personalised approach and in-depth transmission between teacher and student. The timings for each session will be 50′. They total 7.5 hours of 121 teaching held over nine meetings at intervals to be negotiated between student and teacher. The suggestion at this point is around 1-2 weeks between meetings. The fee for each online Module will be a special modular exclusive package price of £395 upfront for the nine sessions, or a £400 fee split over two payments. Each includes a pre-prepared PDF manual as a workbook support. For students using the UK Banking BACS payment system, this will be the transferable fee. However where there are cross-country or cross-currency transfer fees involved then these need to be added on so the received fee is still £395. The Fee Structure can include a split payment offer whereby an initial payment of £200 is made prior to the online meetings commencing and a further payment of £200 made before session 5 convenes. Missed or cancelled meetings at less than 24 hours notice are chargeable. In these situations, further meetings to catch up on content are possible and can be added on at a fee of £47 per 50′ session. Commencement is dependent on current diary spaces for 121 students. Subject to availability, online meetings can begin after agreeing on a mutually convenient time and frequency and transfer of the initial fee. |
