Certified Discussion Group Leader

When you teach Svaroopa^® Yoga classes, your students are having deep inner experiences. But they don't know how to talk about them. Plus their perspective on life is changing but they don't understand why, nor how to cooperate with it.

They need a Yoga Philosophy Discussion Group! Learn to lead this program to facilitate their sharing of breakthroughs with each other and with you.

Your Discussion Groups build and strengthen your yoga community. The relationships established in your group meetings motivate their continuing commitment to classes while deepening their understanding of yoga’s application in their life.

The conversations are rich and thought provoking. I like the connection to my yoga community. – Sam G.

Your groups work with Gurudevi's monthly Teachings Articles as the jumping-off point. This is a powerful way to teach the profound principles of yoga philosophy.  They are learning from Gurudevi and from each other. They mutually reinforce how to apply the teachings in real-life situations.

You don't have to come up with answers for their questions or problems. To become a Group Leader, your process is one of learning to listen deeply. You can lead your students by fostering their meaningful dialogue with each other. It's called "leading from behind," the most powerful form of leadership.

I'm always amazed and delighted to find out how much my students know! Their experiences are already so deep. And the discussions help them find the words to describe them.   – Gurudevi Nirmalananda
