Live webinars, hosted by Bo or other senior teachers, occur regularly throughout the year. They provide additional content or a deeper dives into course material. Students are encouraged to attend live when their schedules permit.  If you cannot attend, each webinar is recorded and the videos are posted to the course site for you to catch up on later. Webinars are an opportunity to engage live with your learning community, ask questions, discuss, and experience guided practices.  We often use webinar to prompt pod work and forum discussions. You’ll need to Download Zoom to join the conversation.  Webinars are announced on the course site and via email one week in advance. Webinar participation is required for the certificate of completion.

We believe that modern contemplative practices such as yoga and mindfulness are tools for engagement and transformation on personal, relational, and collective levels. For this to be so, we must practice not simply in relationship to self, but in relationship with others. We believe that Pod work is essential to your experience and to achieving the vision of this course.

The 100 hour Certificate of Completion is for those who take both a 3 day, in-person immersion and the online course.

 

• The online course must be purchased within 7 days after the conclusion of the in-person immersion. Alternatively, if the online course (YMNB) is purchased before the in-person immersion, it can be purchased only 30 days prior to the immersion (with some exceptions).

Completion of each lesson, full participation in each course component, and a passing grade of 85% or higher on the final test is required to qualify for the certificate of completion.

CE credits available:

• 18 contact hours for in-person immersion (6 hours/day x 3 days)
• 56 non-contact hours for the online coursework
• 26 non- contact hours for participation in webinars and pod work

Please inform our staff with whom you plan to apply for CEs as there are different requirements for different regulatory bodies.

*Please note: CE requirements are ultimately determined by the regulatory body (Yoga Alliance, APA, IAYt, etc) and these determinations change frequently. To be as accurate as possible, we ask that you double-check with the regulatory body with whom you are engaged to determine final eligibility of hours. We recommend that you keep written communications archived for easy access.

We do not offer refunds for the online courses.

Our educational materials are available for you to download and keep as part of enrolling in the course.  We are happy to have you repost, share and use some of the content (especially from our YouTube channel) for your students’ educational benefit.  However, if you do so or use them in your own training of students, please honor the copyright and reference Bo’s work.
