As part of the Yoga Alliance Social Credentialing system, teachers that register with Yoga Alliance must submit a review of the RYS training program they completed.

Feedback from trainees provides Registered Yoga Schools with the opportunity to understand their trainees’ experiences in order to continually improve their trainings.

By choosing to display comments, schools enable trainees to provide insight into a school’s culture and training which helps potential trainees choose the right teacher training for their individual path with yoga.

  I had a good experience. If I had questions they were answered and responded to in a timely manner. I would've preferred a more social experience but unfortunately this was what I could afford at the time.

  I had actually been teaching yoga for 18 years before finally doing the certification with Aura Wellness Center. I take an integrative approach to life, and among my hesitations before joining a teacher certification program, I didn't want to swear by just one right way to teach. But when I found Aura Wellness, I liked absolutely everything about their program. I loved the careful (slower) speed and care and integrity with which every lesson was presented. The videos are calming. You can sense that Dr. Paul Jerard genuinely cares about safety above all else. He creates instructors who care about other people's well being, not about their own showing off with what they can do. I even enjoyed the assignments because they allowed me to think deeply about what I am interested in and to pursue the research and write about those topics. I looked at all the work as an opportunity to expand my knowledge, not as a chore. All the lessons were in depth, easy to follow, full of useful details, and didn't feel like "I already knew it all." It just helped me to be more confident now that I have a degree. It sort of affirmed that what I was doing was indeed the right way to teach :) because I am very much in favor of a safe Hatha practice for the majority of people that I see. It is what the average person who is over-stressed can really use! Anyway, I will continue to take more certifications from this school because of the quality of the lessons and care. They also gave perfect personal feedback when I had questions or comments. Super grateful to Dr. Paul Jerard for creating this program and the people who participated.

  My experience with Aura Wellness was great, the program was self paced, but help was only an email away if needed. Add to that the very warm welcome from Dr Paul Gerard upon my successful completion!!

  The Aura Wellness Center yoga teacher training program was well-rounded and prepared me for what I need as a yoga teacher. The reading material was supplemented with both live and zoom meetings where topics were discussed and students had an opportunity to ask questions. The support center was fabulous and amazingly responsive.
