PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

OUR 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY LEADERSHIP TRAINING is the upgrade of all trainings. Weekend intensives will be robust with high performance content led by E-RYT500 global leaders. Equally, your independent study is designed to deepen your perspective and cause self-leadership and personal responsibility in expansive learning.

Our program is designed to fulfill on our promise: You will leave this training being a leader and with awareness to effectively lead from any space. While additional experience and knowledge is ongoing to be a truly extraordinary leader and masterful teacher, you will have experienced whatever personal transformation is required for you to be a leader through this training – in any environment and no matter with what conditions you are confronted. You will have gained invaluable insights into your own life, way of being, effective boundaries and realizations of what creates whole, complete workability in life. You will have gained the tools necessary to effectively teach a powerful vinyasa flow class while leaving space for your students to discover for themselves. You will have a breakthrough in your physical practice, finding your voice as a teacher and how to teach everywhere in your life from your natural self-expression.

YOU WILL TRANSFORM as a result of participating in this training.

You will be supported and gain the most skill, embodiment of the work, and practical tools to set you up for success as a powerful teacher. You must hold yourself responsible and with integrity around the completion of each assignment to guarantee that you get the most out of the training. Failure to complete any assignment will result in a non-complete of the program and we will not issue certification. Most of the papers and assignments are designed in a way to reflect your embodiment vs. your memorization; to reveal that you have assimilated the training into practical and personal use, that you have made it your own to share. Remember that I am looking for your understanding of the material and what inquiry it has opened for you. Do not worry about your essay writing skills, please just write in a conversational way, directly to the reader like you are sharing your thoughts intimately. For support or questions through the process, email Mary Lyn at [email protected] for clarification and support.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

PRE-PROGRAM WORKPut to memory Journey Into Power (JIP) sequence (attached in this document and found in the book; Journey into Power, Baron Baptiste) Read The Transformative Power of Language, by Mary Lyn Jenkins

INDEPENDENT STUDY You are required to complete the following to acquire your official 200 hr certification. All components are due on or before December 13, 2020.

1. Write a 3-5 page paper on the Yoga Sutras vs Religious text Write a paper that compares and contrasts your understanding of the yoga sutras in relation to a religious text that resonates with you. (Bhagavad Gita, Bible, Course in Miracles...etc) If you do not resonate with any religion or spiritual text, please write about that and your learning in reading about the sutras. Discuss the lessons and philosophies that you find in both and how they contribute to your spiritual growth and self understanding. How are they relevant to you in your path thus far? Studying the sutras can be a whole 200hr training in itself, so please just read and investigate the concepts and theme of the sutras to use for your paper.

Suggested reading for reference: The Yoga Sutra of Pantanjali, Chip Hartranft Bhagavad Gita, Mitchel

2. Write a 3-5 page paper on the chakra energy system Using the suggested reading and/or other sources of inspiration write a 3-5 page paper on the chakra energy system and specifically on how it relates to you. What insights do you now have into your own physical and energetic blocks/openings. You do not need to reintroduce the chakras to me in the paper, I want to know how you have understood the information and how it relates to your personal experience in your body and life.

Suggested reading for reference: Eastern Body Western Mind, Judith Anodea
