BEGINNERS

The International Centered Yoga Association, under Dona Holleman, has activated Training Courses for Centered Yoga Beginner Teachers. The courses are held at Rome by Patrizia Gregori at Centered Yoga Studio Dhyana and at Milan by Francesca Petrilli at Centered Yoga Studio.

The Centered Yoga Beginners course (old system) lasts three years, and is structured in five weekends a week plus five days, at the end of each year, to spend with Dona Holleman at Soiano del Lago for revision ansd supervision. At the end of three years these days will be dedicated to the final exam to deliver the diploma.
