How long is access to each course for?
For all paid courses, access is for two-years, during which time you will have access to the course content, and be able to ask questions to the course teacher and share your experiences, if you wish to.
How can I ask questions to the teacher during the course?
For all paid courses, there are comments sections which can be used to ask questions and share experiences. Questions, comments and replies, can be seen by everyone who is taking the course.
Is any previous experience necessary in order to take a course?
No, all the courses available at the moment are suitable for people at any level of experience. Full practice instructions are given. In the future, we will be making courses available that will be for people who already have some previous practice experience. That will be indicated for the specific courses along with the previous experience necessary.
Will I have access to the whole course after I register?
For all paid courses, the courses are rolled-out over time. So, when you enroll, you will have access to the initial videos, and then you will be notified by email each time a new set of videos become available. The roll-out timescale will be specified for each course and you will also be able to see it within the course once you are enrolled.
Do the videos have subtitles?
At the moment, all courses in English have subtitles. We are hoping to be able to add subtitles to other courses in the future. Subtitles are auto-generated by an AI app, so we are waiting for the technology to improve for this to become possible.
Is there a minimum age to take a course within the school?
The minimum age is 18 years.
Can I download the videos to watch on my device when I am offline?
No, the videos in the course can only be viewed online.
Can I watch the course videos on my mobile phone?
Yes, the website is mobile friendly, and is designed so that people can watch the videos on their phone, or tablet, if they want to. You do not need an app to do this, as the site will open in a normal browser such as Chrome, or Microsoft Edge. There is no mobile app for the courses, as a web browser is sufficient.
What forms of payment are accepted?
You can pay by credit/ debit card. The following cards are accepted: Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express. It is also possible to pay with Google Pay if you register on a PC or Android phone, and with Apple Pay, if you register for a course on an iPhone. PayPal is accepted in some countries.
If someone is currently receiving treatment for mental health issues, can they still take the courses?
If you are being treated for a mental health condition, and you are unsure about your mental stability, then it is best to ask your doctor before taking any of the courses in the AYP Academy. Yogic practices are powerful and can cause strong emotions to be felt, and memories to rise to the surface of the mind, so it is best to proceed with caution and follow your doctor's advice.
Do not reduce your mental health medication during a course, except with express permission from your doctor, or healthcare provider.
Is there an online Community Discussion Forum available for people taking courses?
Yes, anyone taking a paid course in the Academy will have access to the online Academy Community Forum for the duration of their course. This can be accessed from within the course by clicking on "Community". People not signed-up for paid courses can access this Community Forum with a monthly, or annual subscription. It is available here.
Can I mix the practices I learn here with other spiritual practices?
Whilst you are taking a course, if you have any non-AYP spiritual practices that you do on a regular basis, then it is advisable to put them on hold, so that you can focus on the practices being taught in the course. Mixing practices could be confusing in terms of ascribing results, and also have a potential doubling-up effect energetically.
The exception to this is yoga asana practice. It is fine to continue with your daily yoga asana practice, if you have one. If your asana sequence is very energetic, and raises your heart-rate and metabolic-rate, then take a period of rest for at least an hour, after the asana practice, before engaging in any sitting practices, to allow your heart rate and metabolic rate to slow down.
How is personal data managed?
We use student email addresses to send students information and updates pertaining to their course. Student email addresses may also be used to respond to Student inquiries, questions, or other requests. If you have agreed to receive emails about events and news related to the AYP School, then your name and email address may be used for this correspondence. AYP Academy is part of AYP International and communications may be sent by either the Academy, or by AYP International.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. There is a 14-day money-back guarantee on all courses. If you are not satisfied with a course for any reason, contact your teacher for a full refund.
