1. Confidentiality - Personal information is shared amongst the trainees during the learning process of the training. Your signature below states you will not divulge ANY of that information outside of the training or speak of another trainees (with a fellow trainee) information without them present.
2. Commitment and Respect - A 100% commitment is needed to fully complete the training, along with respect for the teachings and fellow trainees. Any verbal or physical disrespect is cause for immediate dismal. Please refrain from side talking. This disrupts the flow of the training and may distract others from their learning process. Even though you may not agree to some of the teachings or opinions shared by your fellow trainees, please keep an open mind and heart. Take what works and let go of the other.
3. Punctuality - The training is very structured and each hour is accounted for. Come to class prepared with homework completed for that day. This is an intensive seven month training covering information that is usually covered in 12 month trainings.
4. Cleanliness - Please have clean feet. Respect the yoga equipment and the next person to use the mat. Please fold blankets neatly, roll straps and stack blocks. It sets a good example for your students. Fellow practitioners, be conscious of your onion and garlic intake. These stay in your system for 24 hrs. and sweat out of your pores.
5. Appearance - Wear appropriate clothing so muscles can be seen. This will enhance the learning process for yourself and others during the ‘Adjustment and Alignment’ section of the training.
6. Financial Due Dates - The total tuition for the Teacher Training is $2200.00.
• The initial deposit of $600.00 is due by Friday August 2nd.
  (full refund until August 30th, 50% refund by September 6th)
• $600 is due by September 5th
  (this is non-refundable and the training manual will be issued to you.)
• $500 is due by October 4th (this is non-refundable.)
• $500 is due by November 1st (this is non-refundable.)
7. Training Manual - Should be brought to every Saturday training. No storage will be provided at the studio.
8. Eating/Smoking Habits - The idea is to be healthy. Total reform of your eating habits is not being asked of you. Just to be open to the idea of cutting out or limiting the intake of sugar, caffeine, alcohol, meat and nicotine. Sugar, caffeine and alcohol are detrimental to the learning process and keeps one fairly disconnected from their body and clouds emotional judgment. Meat makes one have an oilier sweat output. Also, nicotine is expelled from the body through the pores. If you’re not vegetarian this would be a perfect opportunity to have the support of a group of peers to try it (the same goes for quitting smoking).
9. Reading List - Science of Breath (Ballantine) should be read completely before the trainings start of September 5th. How To Know God (Swami Prabhavanada- not Chopra!) is very heady so just read it through the first time. Details will be covered in the training. Individual reading assignments in Light On Yoga (Iyengar) and The Anatomy Coloring Book (Kapit & Elson) must be completed before the assigned class. An optional text that is highly recommended, The Key Muscles of Hatha Yoga (Ray Long, MD) can be purchased in lieu of the coloring book.

I, (please print)__________________________________ agree to commit to the above 9 clauses during the duration of the training. If I have any problem with said commitment to any of these clauses, I will discuss it with the director, Joy Wolfe.
