I received wonderful support throughout my training! :)

I received my 200hr YTT certification through another school. I decided to sign up for MVP's 95hr Children's Yoga Teacher Training as they were one of very few affordable children's training that was also the full 95 hours required by Yoga Alliance. I think the program has the potential to be good but is lacking in a few crucial areas. My first impression was a lack of information. When I first logged into my course and watched the introduction video, I was still left with many unanswered questions. I was provided a PDF list of assignments, but no information on how to submit these assignments (or if I even needed to) and no instruction whether my assignments such as journaling should be typed (for easy submission) or hand-written. Another area I think could be improved is the quality and content of the videos provided in the training. The videos were poor quality and the instructor was just reading a script instead of teaching. I understand having notes to keep your teaching on track, but reading a script word for word is something I can do on my own. This left me feeling like the videos were a waste of time. I was discouraged by the inability to speak with anyone. I requested to join the Facebook group, which seems fairly inactive as I was never added into the group. Inside the course, it said the instructor would be doing office Zoom meetings every other Thursday, with a list of dates starting in April. So apparently no Zoom meetings through March. When I looked at her schedule from a google doc, the dates were all crossed off until August. I then went to a page where you can set up an appointment for one on one with peer support and there was nothing available, not even a single time or date. I was also a little disappointed that I wasn't informed of the need for purchasing books until I was already enrolled in the course. You are not permitted to proceed through the course without completing previous modules first. This combined with me having to order the books and wait for them to arrive in the mail made it so I was at a standstill and unable to work on the coursework. While I think there is good information in the course and especially in the books assigned, the lack of resources and crucial information caused a lot of frustration and wasted time trying to find these resources. In the end, these are the reasons I requested a refund and have chose another program for children's yoga teacher training.

Ive been trying to reach this group for a week and have still not gotten anything other than an automated reply, just moments ago telling me to wait up to 48 hours for a reply to the inquiry finally acknowledged.

Affordable, great instructors and content. Really like that it can be done at your own pace.

Thank you so much for having me. This was an incredible journey so far. Yes with all the Covid around us it has been hard on all of us, but for me it brought me this online YTT and I can not believe how much knowledge I gained in the past 2 years about myself, physically and mentally. It taught me what yoga is about, I would have never expected it to be so enriching and fulfilling. This 200 YTT course gave me so much more than I expected. I didn't know what yoga was about, even though I went to classes. Thank you for starting me on this incredible journey. I'm definitely looking forward to do another course here, with you. Your Team, your lineage, the knowledge, everything here at My Vinyasa speaks to me.

I think this training was detailed and helped me be well educated and informed on how to be the best yoga teacher possible. I do think some tangible class structure resources of how to sequence various different types of classes would be helpful. I also think things could be slightly more streamlined. The portal is great, but the google folders can be a little confusing, not too bad, you all have it well organized, but I find myself thinking I am missing things. Overall, great training, very glad to have done it through My Vinyasa Practice.

My Vinyasa Practice brings a valuable sense of community. The knowledge people share is immense. I have grown personally and professionally since becoming part of this worldwide community.

The ability to learn at your own pace. We all have stuff going on in our lives that prevent us from doing the traditional in person trainings. I also love the ability to take CE credits
