Oops. Sorry abuot that pre-mature send.
Lets try this again...
Jai Ma Fellow Mitras!

This morning I was making Kitcheri, and I had an idea...
What if we all make short 2-3 minute videos of our favorite thing that we have learned since we have started studying at Vedika. Many of us have i phones, or have access to some friend with an I phone. This does not have to be a professional video by any means, it would just be a fun way of reaching out to future students in a very informal way. The format would look something like this...
"Hi, My name is Britt, I have been studying Ayurveda at Vedika Global for 2 years, and I wanted to share something I have learned with you. In school we learn how to cook traditional  delicious healthy and detoxifying Ayurvedic dishes. One of the first foods we learned how to make is called "Kitcheri" Heres how you make it...
1st step, you must soak equal proprtions of green mung beans and basmati rice...."
(You get the picture)

We could really have a fun time making these videos, and then post them on our facebook pages, email them out to our friends...
At the end of the video we would say something like, "Classes for the 2 month course start in January, but registration ends November 15th! If you are interested in learning more about my school, please shoot me a message or an email!"

What do you all think? We could also do this in teams or groups for those of us who are camera shy ;)
I can make a  video tomorrow morning and show it to you all to see what you think.
Love always,
Mahi

oh my gosh!! I LOVE this idea!  This is seriously the third blast of inspiration in the past 7 days that have shown me that I need to invest in learning how to put together videos :). 

I'm totally down to help! yes yes yes!

Ditto to Vijaya's sentiments. Brilliant idea. And i love what it implies about sending our message, mission and love through varied channels. I am already poised to Like and Repost your videos!

Some students may like to introduce themselves in teerms of what they do or what they love. E.g. I am a yoga teacher, I am a long time yoga practitioner, I work in technology, I am a mother, I am a chef, etc. 

And also to give a sentence about some personal benefit or benefit for their family that they got from the course, if that's what they feel inspired to do. 

And no harm in mentioning that they benefitted so much fromthe 2 month coursenthat they signed up for the 1 or 2 year program.

Love and cheering!
Hema
