- Every trainee will offer a five-minute discourse to the group as a whole and receive feedback and guidance from senior staff;

- The internship component of the 700/1000-hour DY LOAY TT towards formal certification will include daily practice of both DY Charging Practice and the Dharma Raja Yoga Breathing and Meditation Series, and, for both, there will be a student teaching component.
Daily Schedule
Be prepared to spend each day at the DYC with one meal break and only short pauses throughout the day. Days begin at 7 a.m. and end between 9 and 9:30 p.m. This training is an intensive immersion and will cover a lot of material in a condensed period. The process will allow for a lot of positive change, but you must be sure to eat and rest accordingly. There will be little or no time for outside activities; for eight days, most of your waking hours will be devoted to the training and focused on Dharma Yoga.
