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. ​

Maintaining your Certification and Continuing Education Requirements

Because the Embodiment Methodology is unique, Mandorla Yoga Institute requires our graduates to maintain their certification by completing 20 continuing education credit hours with MYI on an annual basis. There are no fees for this process. Students may choose to attend workshops, modules, continuing education courses, retreats, retake a module, attend an event or Mandorla Yoga classes to complete these hours. Karma opportunities are readily available to any student upon request. This is done purely via the honour system and no submissions are required.
