THE 2 PARTS OF THE JTAP<br />
The JTAP is done in 2 parts. Part 1 is done mostly as self-study, where as part 2 is done with a mentor at a full program Jivamukti Yoga Center. This gives you the opportunity to fulfill part 1 almost anywhere in the world without moving to a city with a Jivamukti Yoga Center. Please keep in mind, that for part 2, which is 4 months long, it is necessary to live in a location where there is a Jivamukti Yoga centre.
