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.

  The YTT Collective led by Kim Saunders is an excellent program. Kim coordinates among several local yoga experts (from several local yoga studios) to deliver a well-rounded program. All students get complimentary passes at all the participating studios for the duration of the yoga training. This exposes students to dozens of great yoga teachers. I don't know of another local program that does this.

  My choice to educate with YTT Collective with Kim Saunders has been the smartest investment. Kim curates an amazing faculty with a curriculum that truly brings a Master class each session. The partnering studio owners are so welcoming - this is the most amazing forum that gives a thorough and rigorous 200 hour training.

  YTT Collective with Kim Saunders is a comprehensive teacher training program of the first order. Her curriculum provides every student a solid foundation for teaching or simply a deeper and more enlightened personal practice. In addition, the extensive knowledge and experience of the YTT Collective instructors is extraordinary in every way.

  Participants in this training program will get an audience with a smorgasbord of wise, experienced, generous teachers. They will get exposed to an enormous breadth of ideas and topics that fall under the umbrella of 'Yoga.' And they will be forced to confront and overcome all their fears and insecurities related to teaching. They will figure out what parts of yoga are meaningful to them, and will have both the concrete skills and personal confidence to lead others. Life changing experience.
