What is still open
Ordered by what unblocks the most. Four of the eight items from version 2 are now closed: the mapping is validated, the name is decided, the language is decided, and the diagnostic exists. What is left is mostly yours to fill in, and none of it blocks the Brand Book.

Domains · done on 18 Augustelenadaenen.com and elenadaenen.be are bought, in your own name and your own email, 23,17 euros for the first year. Do not configure anything on them. Send us the screenshot of your domain list, which you already did, and we connect them to the site when the site exists. Watch the renewal price in year two, which is higher than the first year promotion.

Rename the Instagram accountTo @elenadaenen, or @elena.daenen if that is taken. Rename the account you already have rather than opening a new one, so you keep your followers. Put in the bio from section 10 exactly as written, and change the name field to Elena Daenen · Yoga & Sound. That is all that has to happen before 4 September.

Fill in the yoga spaces, all seven gatesAsanas, pranayama and sequencing notes for each gate. You already gave the shape of it in your feedback, gate by gate, so this is now writing down what you already know rather than inventing it. Until it exists, the method cannot be taught by anyone but you, improvising.

Collect testimonialsFrom the Tenerife students and the Belgian studio. There are still none, and without them the launch prices cannot move up off the floor. Cheapest and fastest unlock in the whole plan, and it does not depend on anything else being finished.

Decide your yearly capacityHow many workshops and how many retreats you can hold in a year without burning out. It was left open, and it is the one number the calendar and the revenue plan both wait on. Not urgent this week, needed before the launch plan.

Build the self test as a formWhich Gate Is Speaking, in section 07, turned into a simple online form with a one page result and an email capture. This becomes your free offer and replaces the meditation. Once it is live, every new woman arrives already mapped.

Confirm the dance therapy techniqueName and school of the training you are doing in Belgium until January 2027. Voice Movement Therapy and Authentic Movement are now written as reading rather than as credentials, exactly because you said you have not studied them. Nothing you have not trained in appears in public material.

Decide the retreat destination and datesPortugal or Spain first, for proximity and cost, before Bali or Brazil. This is the anchor product and the dream you named yourself, so it deserves a date on a calendar even if the date is far away.

The Brand BookNext deliverable, and it starts from this version: visual identity, written identity, and the content guidelines. The four decisions it was waiting on, your name, your language, your geography and where the goddesses belong, are all closed in this document.

Closed · the diagnostic exists now
You asked for it, and it is section 07. What is left is turning it into an online form, which is our job, not yours. Until it is built, it works on paper and it works in a workshop.
Still open · no testimonials
The Tenerife students and the Belgian studio have not been asked. Without social proof the launch prices cannot move up, and the whole ladder stays stuck at the floor. This is cheap to fix, and it should not wait for the method to be finished.
Closed · the mapping is no longer a hypothesis
Session 2 was never recorded, so version 2 said plainly that every pairing was a working hypothesis. Your written feedback of 6 August replaced that: you confirmed six of the seven pairings yourself and questioned one, which was then reworked. The map is now yours, not ours.
Still open · the dance references
You said you have not studied Voice Movement Therapy or Authentic Movement, so both are now written as reading for later rather than as methods you teach, and the practice at those two gates was rewritten to what you can already do from your sound training. 5Rhythms, Biodanza and contact improvisation are still unverified against your Belgian course. Nothing you have not trained in goes into public material.
