Welcome to your online Yoik course!

Thank you for signing up. We hope you are excited to start!

This course has three "miles" (fases). One mile a week.

Don't worry if you get delayed, you can always pick it up where you left.

We would actually encourage to take longer time with this course, because learning to yoik is a process, and its good to take your time and develop in your own time.
We have done our best to make it easy to learn yoik through this course.


Below you will find the three miles that will be available for you.

Good Luck! We are sure you got this!
