Because of the rising power, freedom, and ease-of-use of free internet video, social networking, and video conferencing, it has become easier than ever to communicate with students in real-time, face-to-face, even across oceans and continents. Our students are also having more fun staying in touch and practicing with each other using social media and internet video...
There is no experience necessary to take our introductory course; Foundation Practices of Tantric Yoga 1.
Foundation Practices of Tantric Yoga 1 has no prerequisites at all, except a sound mind and body, and the abilities to understand english and to learn from audio, video, and text. Tao Semko designed this program so that it would be just as accessible and effective for a total newbie as it would for an experienced meditator, healer, martial artist, or yogi.
All you need for your first course is 1) a working computer with sound, and
2) a reasonably speedy internet connection.
That's it! DSL or cable Broadband will work just fine. Built-in computer speakers or regular earphones are enough. You want enough speed to view simple small internet videos like those on Youtube.com. You can type your questions into live text chat. You'll be able to hear and watch us on video. If you want to use a headset, mic, external speakers, or a webcam, you can, but you don't need any of those to use this program and succeed. You just need a keyboard and the ability to hear and see us on your screen.
Communicate for Free!
We use broadcast websites like Ustream.tv and Stickam.com and Justin.tv to deliver the highest possible quality live video and audio right to your computer along with the FREE, very common, safe, easy-to-install-and-use, computer program called Skype. The Skype technology is owned and used by EBAY. It is one of the easiest, most secure forms of internet communication. It allows instructors and students to chat with text, and do audio or video conference calls at the same time. It's all done computer-to-computer, and it's all free if you have an internet connection! You can download Skype for free right now at www.Skype.com. We regularly use Skype to provide personalized support on our DVDs and e-books, and to teach private classes, around the world.
24-Hour Access to your Video, Audio, and Text supplements Online
And don't worry if you can't attend all the live sessions, or if your internet suddenly goes out...
Your weekly learning materials (any text, and audio or video) will still be up on the server, accessible to you and your fellow classmates once you get back online.
You see, we'll archive and post the live portion of each week's class in the private page for your class group -- that means any live audio or video presentations we record.
Just 12 weeks of scheduled learning, two 30-minute classes weekly...
all from the comfort of home!!
And, you can ask any questions you were unable to ask during the session by emailing them or posting them in your online journal, anytime during the week in between class sessions, and we will answer your questions there, or in the next week's live class.
We're always happy to re-schedule you if your work, family, or school life become prohibitive...
At your request, we can always bump you to a class in the following trimester that is more suited to your schedule and availability. That way the other students are not inconvenienced by unnecessary repetition, and you get the full benefit and enjoyment of the interactive training you paid for!
Our guarantee If after completing Foundation Practices of Tantric Yoga 1, having attended and practiced each and every class session, you are not completely satisfied with the results of your first course, we will refund your entire tuition on the spot. While we highly doubt you will ever feel the need to ask for a refund, you must request the refund within 48 hours of the completion of your course.
Your only commitment as a student:
- Conduct yourself at all times with basic respect and decency towards your fellow students and instructor, or be removed from the class.
- You do not have to attend the live sessions online, but it is recommended. If you fall too far behind in your practices, you will be asked to re-start the class the following trimester at no additional cost to you.
- If you wish to receive Tantric Yoga Practitioner certification from UmaaTantra.com, you must practice five days per week for a total of one hour per day, keep an online journal of your practices and the results, and keep up with the practices as they are taught, and pass each course (80% understanding) as it is taken.
- For Tantric Yoga Acharya certification, you must must additionally provide video of yourself correctly and compassionately performing and teaching all practices in each of the 9 trimesters of tantric yoga classes, as well as perfecting 18 additional months worth of sadhana from the advanced curriculum.
