Paul Grilley's book review of Dan's Yoga Teacher Training Manual.
Daniel has written this book to be a guide to a 200-hour teacher program and I think he does his audience a service. I especially like the section on teaching methodology. It includes suggestions on speaking, demonstrating, sequencing and the role of a teacher. My other favourite section is a discussion of Philosophy, Lifestyle and Ethics that a new teacher must consider but without a guidebook like this one might not think to do so.
Student Record Archiving Fee
PCTIA bylaws require that all career training student records are stored electronically off-site. Each student's enrolment contract, transcript and diploma or certificate will be stored with Datawitness for a period of no less than 55 years, retrievable only by VSBM administrative staff.
