Practice sitting meditation an hour minimum every day and keep the record of the experience according to the guide-line and submit weekly along with the summary of the Dhamma talk. The teacher will send you a Zoom Link once every four weeks falling on Wednesdays or Thursdays for two hours.  A suitable time will be set at the convenience of the yogi and teacher (Between 9:00 am to 8:00 pm PST.)  There is a 30% drop-out rate.  If a student cannot fulfill the requirements without a sound reason, that particular time slot will be given to students on the waiting list.
