Abstract: The following article and training video details the procedure to be followed as to understand if a student is suitable or not to take a teacher training course at Samma Karuna.

This article applies to Tantra TTC, Yoga TTC Breathwork TTC and Breathwork Facilitator training (2 and 4 weeks applications)

Step 1: (Decide whether to accept, reject or schedule an interview with the student and a senior teacher)

About flags

Red flags

People with posible victim identifications or issues with authority

• 1 o 1.5 or 2 red flags the student should have an interview with a senior teacher.
• 2.5 or more red flags the student should be rejected without the need of an interview

Yellow flags (teachers)

People that might not fully understand where he/she is going

• With 3 or more yellow flags the students should have an interview with a senior teacher
• Up to 2 yellow flags and less than 1 red flag the student is accepted.

Yellow flags (bookings)

These are issues that need to be solved by a member of the bookings team.

• In case of physical injures a student should send us a medical certificate saying he is fit to attend the course. The ability to jump is no mandatory on any course but desired.
  
• Issue with meditation:
  
• In case of antidepresents a student should send us a medical certificate saying he is fit to attend the course.
  
• In case of mental health issues such as bi-polar disorder, the student should be rejected.
  
• In case of strong drugs or alcohol addiction, the student should be clean for at last 6 months.
  
• In case of episods of trauma, the eppisode should have appened at least 6 months ago.

Blue flag (mandatory internship)

Students with less than 6 months experience can take the course but with mandatory internship.
This means that if they pass the coures they will get a certificate of attendance and only when they finish the extra month of internship in Thailand they will be approved.

Step 2: Refund the application if rejected or register the information of the student in the spreadsheet of the course he booked as approved.

All spreashsheets are stored in the bookings folder inside a subfolder folder named “XXX Students list” (where XXX is the name of the course).

Step 3: (ONLY FOR THAILAND BRANCH)

You must allocate the student in the bungalow planner according to the accomodation he/she booked and block this accommodation type for the duration of the course in our website using this: link to the website and the password: KasanaTania777.

This last procedure “informs” our website that this accommodation wont be available, so to avoid overbookings.
