LICENSEE PROCEDURE

We’re so glad you want to join our KAY Team! Here’s how you can become a Licensee:

Do not pay your $150 deposit unless you are ready to commit! It is non-refundable. Make sure you are paying your deposit when you know you can follow up and finish the following within 6 months. If you are unable to finish within 6 months chances are this is not a good program for you. We only bring Licensees on who have the ability to make a commitment and follow through in a timely manner. We feel you should be able to finish the requirements within 2-3 months. We give you 6 because we know sometimes life DOES get in the way.

After taking the training, you are required to take a written test on the manual from our training. Non-certified Yoga instructors will also have to take a

Yoga Self Study course (*see below), and pass a test, and they are required to pay an extra $75

Potential Licensees have up to 6 months (after paying their deposit) to do the following:
(However we prefer that you do it within 2 months… while it’s fresh in your mind)

  • Pay your $150 registration fee.
    This is non-refundable so be SURE you’re committed.
  • Own all KAY CDs, and have “some” method of playing music in class. We prefer an MP3 player, it will be much easier for you, but a CD player is acceptable.
  • Teach 2 free classes to the community. 
  • Study the manual extensively.
  • Your written test is on THE MANUAL & THE REQUIRED READING
  • Licensees are required to teach ONE Karma Yoga class a minimum of once every two months, either using our proven formula for teaching at a homeless shelter, a community class for a park clean-up, in an inner city public school, OR the setting of your choice. Set this up prior to your final acceptance as a Licensee.
  • Mandatory reading list: “The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: Commentary on the Raja Yoga Sutras” by Sri Swami Satchidananda. 
  • Provide proof of insurance (**see below) and fingerprinting.
  • Attend one Hatha class every 6 weeks to continue your yogic studies.
  • Build your “Bag of tricks”. Many of the items are available through KAY. Check your manual for the items in the “Bag of tricks”.

Once all of the above is completed, and you have received permission from Haris, you can sign your licensee agreement. Make your FIRST monthly payment of $30 or your annual payment of $300 and VOILA!!! Welcome to our Yoga family! We will send you a KAY organizer complete with class outlines and a system for organizing your schedule/classes. At this point you will also receive the password to the private pages of our website filled with everything you will need to begin acquiring classes, and jump starting your thriving business! We can’t wait to start Kidding Around with you!

*Yoga Self Study course for those who are not 200 hour certified:

    • Read “Light on Yoga” by BKS Iyengar
    • Attend 2 Hatha classes with a 200 hour certified teacher or higher
  • Watch the “Yoga with Haris” DVD
  • Take a written test on the book and the DVD
  • Haris makes the final decision based on your knowledge of the Science of Yoga as to whether you will qualify to become a Licensee. Yes …we love to KID AROUND, but the most important part of becoming a KAY Licensee is that you become very clear that the Science of Yoga is what makes the magic happen in our classes!
  • **Yoga Journal offers insurance for less than $200 per year.
