Hey there, Jay here, and we are in the home stretch to register for my year-long teacher training starting in January.

0:10.4

Registration is closing at the end of this month, and there are only so many spots still available.

0:16.5

I've received a few notes from people who are interested and have concerns about time commitments

0:23.1

and being in different time zones and whether or not their busy lives would allow for
