“Adhikara” is a word in Sanskrit, which, making a long story (or meaning) short, points to a quality of readiness.

For those few who are ready to explore the deeper and subtler aspects of the therapeutic applications of yoga, DJ offers the Apprenticeship Program.

In this program, DJ reveals the “backstage” of her work, teaching the apprentice the art of assisting personal growth through a number of different mental and physical health conditions. Digestive health problems, respiratory conditions, cardiac diseases, depression, anxiety, trauma and disordered eating are some of the health problems explored during this training.

The apprenticeship is highly experiential, but theory is also included. Apprentices will learn through individual and small group sessions, through hands-on clinical practice and guided supervision. Apprenticeship is two years long.

In order to be considered to this program yoga experience (preferably certified yoga teachers with teaching experience), commitment, unstoppable compassion for oneself and others and an interview with DJ are required.
