It was great ! A brilliant overarching dive into the necessary info. Understandable for newcomers and more advanced, loved all the available options. Thank you

By Rebecca Guillain on 10/30/2023

I really enjoyed this course and it has given me added information and insight for planning my own exercise classes. I have been teaching older adults since 2018 and I am just starting to introduce more Yoga based movements into the classes. My clients really love it! I thought Chris was refreshingly authentic and I enjoyed his lectures. I am now moving onto the Life Coaching Course. Love adding to my skills! Thank you Chris.

The course has successfully managed to strike a balance between delivering essential, useful, and practical information and presenting it in an accessible and easy-to-understand format. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in yoga.

By Brandi Porteous on 4/3/2023

GREAT COURSE. Material was easy to understand and was easy to put into practice. A good course for both beginners and those who already teach fitness and health classes. Covers all basic requirements, teaches safety and anatomy without overwhelming the student. Highly recommend.

By Jennifer Fischer on 4/18/2022

I found this course really informative and it helped me a lot to get started. I was looking for many others courses and finally decided for this one and I think I can recommend it to everyone looking for a beginner course regarding yoga, its philosophy and history. It is really practical and the teacher gives a lot of further recommendation to read. :) Really good, thank you.

By Amy Fraise on 3/7/2021

Instructor went too fast. Lots of distractions. The course was not what I thought it was. It was advertised as a yoga teacher certification class. It is not.

By Lisa Burnes on 1/30/2021

The course so far is exactly what I was looking for. This is a great introductory class into the world of yoga and possibly teaching. Even with some of what I know this has been very helpful to truly understand yoga.
