Circles

Train together. Keep the practice going.

Circles bring instructors and practitioners together around an art, a course, or a shared practice — with discussions, training resources, events and community in one place.

One place to train together
Course vs Circle

Two ways to learn — and they work together.

A Course and a Circle do different jobs. One gives you structured instruction; the other gives you a living space to keep practising.

A Course

A structured program you work through lesson by lesson — a complete, sequenced curriculum you study at your own pace.

A Circle

The community around an art, instructor or shared practice — a place to discuss, train, ask questions, attend events and continue learning with others.

Courses give you structured instruction. Circles give you a place to keep the practice going.

Inside a Circle

Everything a Circle brings together

A Circle is built for training and learning around a shared practice — not a generic social feed. Depending on how the host sets it up, a Circle can bring together:

Discover and join the conversation

Find Circles by teacher, art or practice, then join the discussions — ask questions, share your training, and reply with posts, comments and @mentions.

Media where the plan allows

Share and watch training clips and images within discussions, where the Circle's plan supports it.

Classroom modules and lessons

Work through the Circle's Classroom — modules and lessons the host organizes to guide your practice.

Member and Premium resources

Reach the resources the host has opened to members, and — where a Circle offers Premium access — unlock its Premium lessons and resources.

Events

See what's on and register for the events a host runs inside the Circle.

The members and the host

See who else trains in the Circle and who hosts it — and keep the practice going between lessons, with others on the same path.

Members can unlock a Circle's Premium lessons and resources where it offers Premium access.

Questions

Circles, explained

What a Circle is — and how it works.
