Please do some research before you pay this company
UPDATE: They have now advised that they will only let me out of my contract with them IF I delete all negative online reviews on Trust Pilot and BBB, and stop my credit card dispute against them for misleading sales tactics and misleading advertising regarding the actual product they are selling versus what they tell you they are selling. I guess its not so strange that they have almost no negative reviews when so many people are upset with their product and services... they coerce those with negative reviews to remove them. ******************************************************************* I am only giving 1 star as it is required to have at least one to write the review. This company is not worth the money. The price is exorbitant and the tactics used to sign you into the program are awful. Extremely high pressured, and they do not listen when you say no. They push and push and push. Then they teach you how to do the exact same thing to other people. They target yoga teachers that are already overworked and underpaid under the guise that you will create a signature program that will give you the life of your dreams charging others $3000-$10,000 to learn from you. You are not able to see any of the program outline or content prior to paying the extremely high price tag, but once you get access you quickly see that you have over paid for the content and program in general. They use only one form of advertising which is Facebook Ads and claim their marketing strategy is "cutting edge". There really is no proof of success. All testimonials are from people still in the course, not actually completed and making their money back. They tell you about 10 hours of work a week to get through the course, but it is easily double and there are additional costs after you sign up in order to use the platforms they want you to use. They censor the private Facebook page that you get access to as a student and so as soon as a negative comment or someone who is dissatisfied comments it is taken down never to be seen again. Do your research people. Do not cave on your first call like so many of us did. Do. Your. Research. There is a lot of information out there. please look. Update February 2,2022 How ridiculous of a response- just as usual from you guys. You didn’t address ashy of the complaints, only used this as a platform to try to market yourself again on a program that is literally ruining peoples lives. Your offers to me were unrealistic, and this is why I declined them. I told you from the start that I would not settle for anything less than my money back, and you refused. Funny… you say I cenases use of the program…. I supposed that would be because you removed all of my access to the online platform- even after taking over $8000 of my money. That is not me ceasing right complete the program- that is theft. And you will be held accountable for this.
Response from Modern HealerFeb 2, 2022
Marie only completed 57% of the program, did not utilize the full support provided by the program, and has chosen to cease participation. We would love to come to a resolution on this matter to move forward in a way that supports both Marie and Modern Yoga Teacher. It is the goal of the entire team at Modern Yoga Teacher to support our students to create abundant, sustainable businesses where they are able to support their ideal clients. To date, we are unaware of another coaching and online education program that provides the level of support that Modern Yoga Teacher provides to our students. Especially not at this price point. We provide our students with multiple 1:1 calls with an accountability coach and mindset coach throughout the course of the program. We also provide multiple group support calls that are offered multiple times per week with a tech coach, ads coach, social media coach, sales coach, as well as group support with accountability coaches and mindset coaches that can be utilized in addition to the student’s 1:1 calls with their coaches. Modern Yoga Teacher also has a guarantee in place that provides continued support to students until they make their return on their investment, provided they do the work. Marie would have been entitled to this guarantee if she had chosen to complete the work within the program. Regarding Marie's concern about not being able to see a program outline, or course content prior to signing up for the program, we provide a free online class, which is an overview of what is taught. Prior to joining the program, our prospective students also have the opportunity to speak 1:1 with a breakthrough coach, which is also free. This call’s purpose is to go through the client’s ideas and create a strategic plan with them to take their yoga teaching online. This plan is based on what we have the most experience with, which is the same strategy that we use for our company and teach our students to develop through our program. On the breakthrough call, the prospective student has the opportunity to share their experience and goals, and the breakthrough coach provides tools for the prospective student to shift their mindset and work to achieve their goals. If a client's idea has potential for growth and benefits from our program’s teachings, the breakthrough coach will offer the option for the prospective student to move forward in joining our program, which has been proven to work for the majority of students presented with this opportunity. It is the prospective client’s choice to move forward with signing the agreement and we have the call recording where Marie agreed to and signed the agreement. The breakthrough coach shares the estimated additional costs for the program will total anywhere from $300-600/month. These programs and marketing costs are not applicable for the entirety of the program (5 months), rather are only necessary during some parts of it, especially towards the end. This is why most of our students don't exceed $600. Modern Yoga Teacher teaches Facebook ads to keep things manageable for our students. Focusing on a primary platform provides them the opportunity to develop mastery on the most impactful marketing platforms, instead of spreading themselves too thin. This also provides students with the opportunity to apply the skills and concepts they have learned to other advertising platforms as their business grows. Regarding the estimated amount of time spent in the program, this is the average that we have seen the majority of our students require to go through the material, implement and build their businesses. Depending on how students plan their time, this is a generous estimation, but it is just that - an estimation that has been accurate for the majority of our students. We are more than happy to provide testimonials from students who have created successful businesses by completing the program over our nearly 5 years in business. To conclude, we have reached out providing multiple options for resolution to the commenter. This includes extending her time in the program, additional 1:1 calls at no additional charge, and both of these solutions were declined. Marie only completed 57% of the program, did not utilize the full support provided by the program, and has chosen to cease participation. We would love to move forward with resolving this complaint, that is unsupportive to future prospective clients as the commenter did not complete the program in its entirety or take full advantage of the comprehensive support and teaching provided within the container of the program.
