Access the Master Student Folder
The Master Student Folder provides you with a copy of every document that you will need for your training with Mandorla Yoga Institute. The folder is view only. You will need to make individual copies for your records. This allows students to download as a PDF or to create an editable copy in their own Google Drive Student Folder. If you prefer keeping track of hours the old fashioned way, we suggest, downloading the pdf and printing a copy. Once you are done filling in your information, you can take a picture of the document and upload it to your student file.

Course Expectations and Classroom Etiquette
This is a professional training with the expectation that we will come together with a certain degree of courtesy and mindfulness. At the same time, we are a community of individuals who hold space for one another from a place of mindfulness and compassion. One of our intentions at Mandorla is to ensure that the learning environment we create, is inclusive and supportive for ALL of our students. When you attend training with us, we would like for you to be aware that your fellow students may come from all walks of life and have their own abilities and strengths.

There are no fees for this process. Students may choose to attend workshops, modules, continuing education courses, retreats or Mandorla Yoga classes to complete these hours. Karma opportunities are readily available to any student upon request.
