Online Session Guidelines

A few days before the session:

• Test if your internet is fast and stable. (Use this link to test: https://www.speedtest.net)
• Do one Dry-Run of the entire flow of the session with another Yoga Veera / Volunteer. Use the same platform that you will use during the real session so you can check your mic, camera and the streaming of the videos.
• Test the general registration for your session, follow the link you have provided to everyone interested and register yourself. You should receive a confirmation email immediately after registering.

On the day of the session:

• As part of the confirmation email, there will be a button for 'Join the Session Here’. Clicking the button will take you to a webpage with guidelines for the webinar.
• Important! Test the ‘Join Now’ button on this webpage 30 minutes before your session to ensure it is linked to the correct Google Meet or Zoom ID.
• Need help? Please join this Whatsapp group 'Wave of Bliss Yogaveeras' via the link below. Here volunteers will be able to support you: isha.co/WaveOfBliss_yogaveeras
• Make sure the Laptop/PC is connected to the power.
• Do an Audio / Video check.
• Make sure you have all the files ready for the session.

• Ensure you are relaxed and settled before the session starts :)

During the session:

• Open the session 30 minutes before and play Yoga Padhi.
• Make sure all the participants are muted to avoid unnecessary background noise from the participants.

• You or your co-host can manage the chat, send chats to an individual or to everyone and mute participants if needed.
• You can ask the participants to pin your window for seamless video, make sure you know how to explain this well. You want to avoid confusion.
• While one of the videos is being played, note the number of participants that attended the session.

After the session:
