In person participation is strongly encouraged. I have found that most students who choose online learning on a regular basis have a more difficult time connecting to the community, and community is a vital part of yoga. It also appears more difficult for online learners to fully grasp the materials.
Online learning is significantly better than not showing up at all, so please read the following suggestions for accessing and making online learning successful for you.
In order to access a virtual session, please read the following:
Let me know via a message here in Mighty Network no later than 8am the day of the training if you would like to attend virtually so that I have time to set up the AV equipment. (Some sessions may require additional notice time. if that is the case, I will let you know in advance.
Tend to the present moment: It can be easy and tempting to multitask or just be distracted by life when engaging in virtual learning. Our circle doesn't work as well when one of its vital members is not fully present. Please set the boundaries that you need to with yourself and your loved ones prior to joining us online.
Many of our sessions include various art or natural materials. I provide all supplies and course materials for those attending in person. If you will be participating virtually, you will need to procure the needed supplies listed under the "Handouts" and "Materials/Supplies" section of each weekend.
You will receive the zoom link to each session in a reminder email 24 hours and 1 hour in advance of the training. Please keep an eye on your emails.
Please check your AV equipment prior to the session and reach out for support in advance of the start time. I will be unable to help troubleshoot problems without advance notice.
Online classes are not recorded. If you would like to request a particular session be recorded, please let me know in advance.

Welcome to our online sacred space and container for our circle outside of training.
My desire is that this space support you practically (with information) and also help connect and deepen our circle. Everyone has a different level of need for connection and support, and I want to invite you to participate at the level that is comfortable for you.
Notifications
I will communicate through Mightly Networks when there are practical/important announcements about the training. I will also post information about the retreats, scheduling your 1:1 sessions with me, and all our lunar practices here.
I do not want you to be overwhelmed by notifications, so please know that you are 100% in control of the types of notifications you receive. If you wish to receive a notification every time someone posts or cheers something, you can. If you prefer to hang back and receive an email daily with an update of all the happenings, you can do that. If you prefer to receive nothing except my announcement emails, that’s fine too. I do recommend that you check this space at least weekly - especially when we are growing close to one of our sessions together. Please let me know if you need assistance in customizing your notifications, and I will tag you in that tutorial.
This space is used for:
Everything you need for our training times will be included here in the table of contents including handouts, readings/assignments, supplies list.
Asking questions:
Any questions that may benefit others (i.e. what reading? What time? What does this mean? How do we do...? please post these in the circle for all to benefit. I guarantee someone else will benefit from it.
I encourage you to post questions about your personal practice (to the degree that you are comfortable) in our circle because someone else will either have the same question about their body/mind/heart or they will have a student that will benefit from this wisdom (i.e. “I have this physical/mental/emotional thing going on, how do I customize my practice?”)
Any questions that are personal and confidential (i.e. how much money do I still owe?), feel free to reach out to me individually by sending me a chat in MN.
If you private message me with a question that I think will be relevant and beneficial to the circle, I will post it to the group and tag you in my answer rather than responding privately.
Deepening our connection and our practices. I will post questions that will help us stay connected and deepen our practice throughout the training. I invite (but never require) you to share when you feel called to do so.
Sharing resources. Do you know a great movie, book, song that illustrates something we’ve been learning? Please share it!
Asking for feedback: this is a great place to post a video or audio of practice teaching, or a write up for a workshop you hope to lead, or your bio and ask the group for feedback.

Please submit all personal questions, comments, queries about YTT to me in the chat function of MN. This helps me keep everything in one place. If you send me a message in another way (email, text, etc…), I will annoyingly :) and lovingly ask you to send it to me in MN.

During the course of your Reiki training, you can schedule up to 2 complementary 50 minute 1:1 consultations sessions with me. I recommend one in the first 4 months of our training and one towards the end, but you can schedule them at a time that intuitively feels best to you.
If you cannot find a time that works for you, please email me at info@supremepeaceyoga.com and we can look to see if we are able to find a time that works well for both of us.
You have a choice between in person and virtual attendance.
Once you schedule your consultation, you will be sent an email asking you about your goals for our time together. Please fill this form at least 3 days prior to our session. This allows me adequate time to make any preparations necessary to support the achievement of your goals.
I do ask for 24 hours notice for cancellation. I understand there can occasionally be last minute emergencies; however, please keep in mind that repeated cancellations, late cancellation, or no shows can result in the forfeiture of your consultation time.
If you would like additional consultations, I'm happy to offer that at my typical Reiki session rate.
