Syllabus Modules 1-4

Student Syllabus Outline - Sacred info only for those going through the course.I am very proud of the course that I have created to share with you all. It took months to put together and is a compilation of nearly a decade and a half of being a dedicated student of yoga, from the 200-hr training I did in Thailand, the 500-hr training (13-month program) I did in Mexico, and extra workshops and certifications I completed, dozens of books read and handfuls of documentaries watched, hundreds of YouTube videos, etc.I am sharing decades of information from my personal journey with help from books from other great teachers. This information is Sacred and exclusively for attendees of the Abundant Spirit Yoga Teacher Training. ♥ Thank you for honoring the intellectual efforts and vast amounts of time invested in creating and offering this course.

My policies allow 365 days from course beginning to complete it without additional charges! See below.)• Abundant Yoga LLC understands that unforeseen circumstances, (i.e. global pandemic) could mandate cancelling or rescheduling the training modules. In such a case where the course is cancelled by the administrator, students will receive a refund of tuition paid for unlearned remaining modules (excluding non-refundable deposit).3. Attendance & Certification RequirementsIt is Heidi’s goal that all participants graduate in 8-weeks as the course is designed, however we are literally meeting the requirements of an intensive and advanced (300-hr) course. It is a lot of material and homework requirements and some students may still be completing homework and required hours after the 8-week course ends.There will only be additional tuition charges if student has not completed the course work 365 days from the beginning of the course. In the case that students are still working on completing course material 365 days after commencement, students will only be required to pay for missed module material.• Students must try to attend as much of weekend module sessions as possible to cover the majority of the course material needed for certification.• Missed hours must be made up at the discretion of the lead trainer. Often, missed hours will be fulfilled through homework assignments regarding missed course segments to show student understanding of the material and/or concepts. Sometimes it could require meeting one-on-one with the Lead Teacher (Heidi).• In the case that full weekend modules (29 total learning hours) are missed, a combination of assigned homework to learn missed syllabus material and/or meeting in person with Heidi and/or attendance during missed modules in future Teacher Training generations may be encouraged and/or required.• Successful completion requires:
◦ Full participation in all required hours
◦ Completion of homework, reading, and course elements
◦ Demonstration of teaching competency
◦ Adherence to ethical standards and respectful behaviorCertification is not guaranteed; it is earned through satisfactory completion of all requirements.4. Conduct & Dismissal
