Online Classes
The Mind Body Connection is currently offering several online courses for your learning convenience. With online courses, the convenience and ability to review the material can actually increase your overall level of learning. When all of this information comes at you during a short time, as in a live class, studies indicate that the retention rate is as low as 50%. With home study, you can review over and over again, which, with enough repetition, can increase your retention rate as high as 100%. That would more than compensate for any real or perceived disadvantage of not having the instructor stand over you as you practice.
