Upon signing up for the course, participants will be sent a class syllabus, which includes a complete list of all ParaYoga techniques along with the outline for teaching them.

Please be advised of the other pre-requisite for participation: you must have completed reading THE POWER OF MANTRA AND THE MYSTERY OF INITIATION by Pandit Rajmani Tigunait.

Also, please note that participation in the Guru Parampara PYMT requires you to have enrolled in the PYMT program (meaning that we should have your Enrollment application, headshot, and application fee on file). If you have not done so, please make sure that it is done ASAP. The enrollment fee of $75 will be increasing to $150 after February 15th, so make sure to enroll early.

After your enrollment, you will be added to an invitation only, closed Facebook group where you can seek or offer room shares and ride shares with other students in the same training. This group also serves as a forum to continue discussing the teachings after the training.

Please note: At the close of the training all participants are eligible to receive a certificate of completion. However, it is not rewarded on the basis of enrollment. Attendance at all sessions and completion of all contact hours is required. Certificates can only be issued on the basis of hours completed by the close of the training.
