The content itself has been great, but I cannot access the courses that I have paid for through the mvp website, the only course that shows up is the yoga therapy for anxiety course that I have not paid for.(I do have my receipt and bank statements) I had paid for the 200 hour ytt training and can access it on teachable but since they are discontinuing it on that platform I’m worried all my progress and money will be lost, I’ve tried to get ahold of the company and got the automated email reply but the website is discontinued tomorrow so I’m not sure if I will be able to get into my course.

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.

Was not a great training program. Manual was basic. Lectures didn’t provide much information. I felt I wasted my money and time. I have a hard time saying I completed my 500 hour with MVP 300 hour.

I took the online 300 hour in 2021. I was very disappointed in the program as a whole, but particularly the lack of communication.

A little disappointed in my online 300 hour ytt... MVP is not super user friendly when it comes to their online classes, and there was zero transparency about the fact that when you finish your content on the learning portal,you have not even begun to finish the program, as they require you to log 60 hour plus another 60 hours of their inaccessible online content and the log system does not work. At all. I had logged over 40 hours of watched online content and they do not count anywhere so those hours are lost. I contacted peer support so many times and they were slightly helpful but not able to help me with this. They require 20 hours of teaching which is fine, I'm a 200 hr ryt and I've been teaching for over ten years, but I do not have access to the type of camera equipment it would take to record that much content... In summary I wish I had known about the extra hours before I signed up for the program, I would have sought training elsewhere. Pretty disappointed overall. It would be helpful to have a syllabus or outline of materials required before students are accepted because it isn't fair to those of us who lack the resources and skills to access and upload hours of online content.

I really liked how flexible the plan was. I appreciated all the recorded classes. However, the customer service was very lacking. Don't call! They take about a week to get back to you and I never had anyone answer a call when I called. Even though it was during business hours. Just do the messaging system on the website. I like that their lectures are on the weekends but I wish they were shorter. I wanted to be there live but with 2 little kids I could never stay on for the whole thing. Then when I would go back and watch the recording I would have questions but not be able to ask the teacher. Maybe they could have a teacher question form where you could submit your questions to the teacher to get clarification and feedback if you weren't able to join the live class. Other than that it was a great program.

I enjoyed the lectures but I wish there was a more streamlined way to turn in my 20 hours of teaching. I haven’t started because it is overwhelming for me to have to record and upload the classes to YouTube. One day I’ll get to it. But it would be great if something was offered more streamlined through the training.
