As usual, Om Yoga Flow is doing an exceptional job with yet another great course. Highly recommend this platform for rich, deep, and meaningful teacher training. My experience has been a positive one all around. I have reached out to Om Yoga Flow and they are quick to respond. Their online platform for live classes contains many on-demand classes as well. It is well worth the fee. Having complete a course with them already, I was pleased to quickly receive my certificate which allow me to get my insurance updated. Thank You Joanna, Juan, Angela, Nancy and Mark. A great team!

The conversation lectures have drastically changed my learning ability. Listening to a conversation instead of one person lecturing helped to maintain attention. Some videos it seems the person on the right was difficult to hear and had alot of bounce back. The person on the left was sometimes hard to hear or was perfect. The amount on each slide has been perfect. I have ADHD. I have tried school. I have tried college. I have tried online classes and programs. This has been the easiest course to continue. Each slide was an appropriate amount of information. The slides were not too long to where it was overwhelming. This has been a great course for someone who becomes overwhelmed very easily with school, reading, retaining information, and problems with attention. This course gives a good variety of different learning styles with written, visual, and lecturing.

By Cecilia Maria Chiappai on 6/30/2024

I appreciate the natural and spontaneous way the content is explained. I’m a dance teacher with five years of experience working with children, and while I find the material interesting, the classes seemed a bit monotonous. The children appeared disengaged, which suggests that the lessons could benefit from a more dynamic approach. Watching them was a bit boring, although I hope the second part improves. Some ideas are repeated, but considering the price, I understand that it's not reasonable to expect too much.

By Stefania Rodella Wigelsworth on 5/13/2024

The course is ok, I am disappointed with having to pay for the certificate but even more with having to register with their yoga portal and having to attend at least 4 ‘live stream’ sessions. The bizzarre thing is that, there is no interaction, so there is absolutely no difference between attending these ‘live session’ and a prerecorded ones. I am registered on other portals where live actually means live. Also, the course is on children yoga, and I could not find anything in the portal covering this topic. I wish these information were made clear at the beginning, and and they would no tide you up with extra, not useful, subscriptions.

By Debbie Wilson on 5/12/2024

Yes, thank you This course is a great match for me. I do have problems with my Udemy account though and cannot download the app, which causes stress having to go through Facebook every time. And I would like to access this course on my television as the text on my mobile screen often hides the actual yoga position of the teacher or model. Sorry to moan, other than that I’m loving the course. Thank you all

By Carol Marin on 5/6/2024

This is a very touching course for me. I'm aligned with Gabor Mate readings and Idas for many years, I'm a mother of a 14 years old boy, and we as a family have a strong foundation and communication, peer pressure is not a thing in my family, we cultivate and nurture the natural healthy relationship with our kids since he was born. I homeschool my child until grade 6, and learn about child development before it happened in our child so I was able to pave the path for a natural relationship with our son. I can tell you that the fact he doesn't have a phone or social media, is the key for him to be close to us and be confident at his age. I like the course because is very accurate for the vast majority of kids out there. I feel like an unicorn with my son, but also this encourage me a lot to be one of the compassionate adults that many teenagers need to be around.

By Kanako Tsuruta-Alfonso Jimenez on 3/19/2024

I really love how various instructors are teaching us the theories, many kids related psychological/social studies and the teaching methods, at the same time profounding our yoga skills through the practical sessions and live lessons. The school provides deeper knowledge and practices than I have expected before starting this course. Highly recommended!

By Stacey Longmuir on 10/4/2023

I have enjoyed this first part of the children's yoga certification. I have taught several children's yoga classes in the past, and I was looking to expand my knowledge, particularly with teaching older children and teens, as well as gain the children's yoga designation through Yoga Alliance. I would recommend this course. Now, on to part 2!

By Rebecca Mennecke on 9/27/2023

Amazing course! Very structured, lots of material. I had previously booked a course on the same topic (not on Udemy) that was very disappointing, so I am glad I found this one. Even the longer lessons are entertaining to watch, because there's a dialogue between two teachers who also share personal experiences, which also makes it easier to remember the facts they had been talking about. And they don't forget to remind you of your own yoga practice, classes for the students are included as well.

By Andy on 9/20/2023

This course is just what I was looking for! I seriously don’t think I could recommend it enough. I’m new to kids yoga and the company I work for needs me to have this YA credential. I can say wholeheartedly that I’m not feeling as overwhelmed anymore because I have a new perspective on how I’m going to teach this population. Part one, you’re amazing! Now onto part two.
