2024 Teachers Intensive

2024 Teachers Intensive

Thank you for your interest in Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor’s 2024 month-long Teachers Intensive.

Dates: August 5-30, 2024
Location: Darmstadt-Eberstadt, Germany

Please complete the application below and submit. We will review applications in the order they are received and will inform you of your status as soon as possible.

PLEASE NOTE: When you submit your application you should receive an auto reply that we've received it. If you DO NOT receive the auto reply, something went wrong when you filed the application and we have not received it. This happens for two reasons:

1. If any of your answers are longer than about 320 words (2,000 characters including spaces) then submitting the form does not work. You can always edit a few words out and submit again. Make sure you receive the auto response.

Being a good yoga teacher requires that you learn to say complicated things in as few words as possible, so why not start here?

2. The form will not accept phone numbers with extra spaces. Nor will it accept phone numbers with the + sign. So if you have a + sign in your number simply fill out the phone number field and omit the + sign.

Thanks for putting up with the quirkiness of the electronic application process.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at info@richardfreemanyoga.com
