this experience is not for any one specific kind of person. imagine the week as a buffet everyday will offer movement and stillness practices, different workshops covering different topics, and an abundance of space for integration and introspection.

the information you will gather over the course of the week could be for your personal expression or it may serve in your modality of teaching (yoga teacher, fitness instructor, massage therapist, to name a few).

if you do choose to take all 50 hours (the full weeks content) you will receive certification that can be used towards a 300 hour path of learning with madison + half deity half dust.
