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.

  Sweet Momma Yoga teacher training was an amazing experience. I learned so much and am able to confidently adapt any yoga class to be expectant momma friendly. I cannot recommend this teacher training enough!

  Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Katie Jo. So glad you enjoyed space and the smaller class size helped to build relationships within the group.

  Thank you for carving out time to share your review, Lauren. It was wonderful having your expertise as a birth doula in the 85-hour Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training course; affirming what we offer in prenatal yoga practices. Thank you for participating in this program.

  Thank you so very much for everything! I really love your caring and direct-with-love teaching style. You kept me very engaged; learning far more than I thought possible about the birthing experience and myself. I also really appreciate your emphasis on supporting the mothers to trust their instants and for us, as teachers, to trust ours. At least for me, your continued patience, trust, encouragement and confidence really helps me to open-up, extend my boundaries and become more comfortable in the non-physical aspects of teaching. The training’s mixture of background, industry theories, reasons behind specific teaching/pose choices mixed with hands on practice and actual classes made absorbing the information and incorporating the knowledge far more successful. I agree there needs to be more prenatal yoga teachers that are trained and willing to dive deeper in their classes into what mind, body and baby are experiencing through the entire process. Great job making this a reality with your training. Every one of the teachers trained by you that I have encountered are awesome as people and teachers with their own style but similar mission. Thank you so very much again, Elise, for opening your home, heart, classes and life to us! With deepest gratitude, Jeanna
