As the world deals with a pandemic, schools and teachers all over the world are offering classes and teacher training programs. In this episode we discuss how the world of online yoga learning provides opportunities that were otherwise inaccessible. I talk to two yoga teachers about their experiences and thoughts with teacher training programs both in person and online.

Logan Zeman is a yoga teacher living in Shanghai, who recently completed her 200 hour teacher training program online. Salice Bartholomai, a teacher in Scotland, did her first teacher training in India and carried on to study many different programs at schools around the globe. We hear from them both about the advantages and disadvantages of online learning.
