Dear Anusara Teacher Trainers,

September is just around the corner. I hope you are all making the most out of this season despite world events. Most of our global regions are starting to get back to the studio but others are still suffering. I am also aware that some of you are working through health issues. I send you all vibes of love, wellness and good health.

The following communication comes from the Professional Development Department. These are updates that are specifically meant for you as teacher trainers. My hope is that in maintaining open lines of communications we can continue to work together as a team and I can make sure you have what you need to stay informed and equipped to best lead your programs and serve your students. Complimentary information is available in Anusara News (If you are not receiving the “Anusara News” bi-weekly e-mail newsletter, please let me know. I can turn on notifications for you so that you don’t miss out, but I need your written consent to do so).

Let’s keep in contact,

Om Shanti

Jeannine Plaiche,
Director of Professional Development
Anusara School of Hatha Yoga

Thank you for registering your trainings!

A big thank you to all for registering your teacher trainings with the School. It is making a huge difference and allowing the School to welcome new teachers into the School, develop new programs, materials and policies that support you in your role as Anusara members and teacher trainers. 

Please note, we DO NOT, share your student’s e-mail addresses with anyone or add them to our mailing list. We only contact students you specifically recommend for Anusara membership. And we only contact them to congratulate them for receiving your recommendation and to provide them with instructions on how to apply.
