Highlights of continuing education with Carrie

One-on-one attention and group dynamics

Small-group continuing education is a great opportunity to work with an experienced instructor who can observe your teaching and provide immediate feedback. My courses always leave time for you to practice what you've learned and to ask plenty of questions.

At the same time, the rest of your group will provide great support, networking, and potentially lifelong friendships.

Both of these things are difficult to find in mass-produced online trainings. As good as the content may be, the value of community in Yoga cannot be overstated.

Depth of content

If you've experienced any free online continuing education, you might have noticed that a lot of it is a thinly-veiled sales pitch for the presenter's paid programs.

While I love Yoga teachers being able to make a living, I don't love that listening to a pitch qualifies as CE credit.

I think continuing education should be anything but shallow.

Ongoing support

All continuing education students are eligible for at least 30 minutes of online support within 6-months of the course end date. This is your time to ask follow up questions after putting the skills into practice.

"Loved this ECU Yoga assisting class. It was informative, organized, and genuinely fun, with a class structure that felt top notch from start to finish. I walked away with practical tools I can use right away and a deeper appreciation for thoughtful, skillful assisting."
