If you are already a teacher and you're looking for some new inspiration or to expand your teaching, or maybe you're not a teacher, but you practice some and you're interested in a deeper inquiry. And you've probably considered doing teacher trainings in the past

0:26.6	Well, you might check out the program I put together.
0:30.0	It's designed to adapt to your individual needs

2:37.7	My wife got the place. I'll paint it up and beautiful. We got food together. My friend Carl
