Mixed bag; great prices, but some bad teaching
I love that Yogamu is affordable. But I do not love some of the yoga teaching, where a teacher steps on someone's arms to do an adjustment in a chair yoga class! It seems a lot of 5 star reviewers don't know much about yoga and don't know that some of what is taught is actually dangerous. Be careful and use common sense. The philosophy teachings are the best, Nikolai does a great job with those. But this is a diploma mill school, not a comprehensive training. Take it for what it's worth but supplement your training if you want to be a great yoga teacher.
