Los Angeles - OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network announced today that registration is now open for its new online eCourse, "Oprah's Lifeclass Presents Forgiveness with Iyanla: How to Forgive Everyone for Everything," taught by renowned author, spiritual life coach and television host Iyanla Vanzant (OWN's "Iyanla: Fix My Life"), available exclusively on Oprah.com.

Early bird registration begins today, September 5. The eCourse begins on October 5 and registration closes on October 13.

Each week, Iyanla will guide students step-by-step through a new lesson in forgiveness via custom videos, emails and interactive assignments. This practice is designed to bring students new strength and achieve an enhanced level of greatness.

"It's great to be able to expand our growing eCourse offerings on Oprah.com with the one and only Iyanla," said Erik Logan, president of OWN and Harpo Studios. "She is an inspiration to so many and this course takes her powerful messages and gives students a unique experience that will positively impact their lives."

Throughout the eCourse, Iyanla will respond to students' questions live via online Q&A sessions where they can ask her questions about the course and their own experiences in learning how to practice forgiveness. Students can share affirmations, postings about the course and thoughts on the weekly lessons with classmates on social media using #IyanlaOCourse.

Following is the weekly class outline:
