In order to pass, you must fulfill all of the Application requirements and fully participate
in and complete each and every aspect of the Program. This means conducting yourself
within the spirit and integrity of the Program, in a harmonious and cooperative: manner,

assignments, and classes. As we will be working in groups, it is imperative that all
deadlines are met.

evaluate each trainee at the end of each weekend, after all requirements have been met.

and meet all deadlines, you should have no trouble reaching final Certification. Your
Certificate will enable you to teach “Vinyasa Flow in a Hot Studio”. Therefore, please
