Trainer Update – 18 Sept 2023
- Watch Amrit’s weekly video here – Slight changes to how/when/where we meet together as trainers, and some details about upcoming trainer gatherings.
- Upcoming Trainer Meetings – After the great in-person meetings that we had during Summer Solstice in the USA and at the European Yoga Festival in France, the KRI Team is looking to balance Online and In Person Meetings. We are delighted to be in-person again and, at the same time, loving the ease with which we can connect with the Global Sangat via online meetings. We have heard your feedback that all the trainer meetings should balance focus (no one wants to waste their time) with connection (which happens with more loosely constructed agendas).
- October 2023 Online Regional Meetings. Our next opportunity to gather together will be ONLINE in October. We will discuss topics that are relevant regionally and stay connected with your peers locally. These will be focused meetings that also nurture dialogues and conversations that can lead to future ATA decisions. Registration will be open soon! See below for the schedule of these online meetings:
