Synchronous Distance Learning (SDL)
Synchronous Distance Learning classes (SDLs) are a chance for students to engage with JJ Gormley, Program Director as she covers a wide range of materials including yoga philosophy, anatomy & physiology, teaching skills, and professional development. These classes meet virtually, links will be shared with registered students. These classes will be recorded, and attendance is mandatory for enrolled students. These virtual classes are also an opportunity for students to ask questions that may come up during the training.
