The 2nd year of the training requires a commitment of 20 hours per week of ongoing eurythmy classes, that form the 2nd year of the training. Daily group practices as well as written and artistic and reading assignments, make up the rest of the course work. Our 2nd year students are also expected to begin their practice as teachers by observations in local Waldorf schools. The ongoing option is currently only offered in Mexico City.
The theme for the year are the gestures for the Zodiac and Planets.
Steiner's indications for the gestures for Planets and the Zodiac constellations are at the heart of eurythmy. The spiritual substance of these gestures nourishes the eurythmist and brings substance and form to movements. Other subject include Apollonian forms and principles, supervised practicum, Art, Study, Music, Astronomy, Poetry, Improvisation, and Speech Formation.

Elements Courses are Auriel's 3rd year. Fall and Spring modules are 14 days each and the Summer and Winter modules are 7 day intensives. 16 hours per week of instruction, daily practice as well as written and artistic assignments and reading between courses make up the rest of the course work. The theme of Elements Courses are the gestures and choreography for the elements and for elemental beings. The movement for the elements can give the aspiring eurythmist the feeling for entering into the being of a movement, to become truly one with gesture and form. Other subjects that are explored during this year include movements for cultural epochs and for the colours. Also covered are Art, Study, Science, Poetics, Geometry. In this year our students also begin their teaching practices at local Waldorf schools.
Performing Courses are Auriel Eurythmy's 4th year or graduation year. The Performing Courses are made up of 4 modules of two weeks and one week in length, as well as 16 hours of ongoing instruction per week. We prepare a one to two week tour of a children’s program and then work on the graduation program for the remainder of the year.
Students also learn solo forms by Rudolf Steiner and group pieces from a variety of periods. We usually present this graduation program at the Goetheanum in Switzerland. Supplementary classes for this year include stage arts, such as mask making, lighting, make-up and mime. Intensive independent supervised study, 4 days per week of instruction, daily practice, as well as written assignments make up the rest of the course work.
On completion of the eurythmy training our students will receive a Goetheanum recognised eurythmy diploma, based on individual merit. Everyone will receive an Auriel Eurythmy certificate of completion.
