Yogamu Reviews

I completed my 300 hour program at YogaMu they name they market their YTT s under and submitted my materials as well as months prior had asked questions about the completion requirements No one got back to me for 6 months and multiple requests I have contacted the emails that are provided and core ones in the program come back and mail undeliverable The one s I have been able to go through and their student question site has not responded to anything except saying I ll check on it I was a huge proponent of this program for the past year and some odd months because I do believe the content is good However the videos are filmed poorly it s hard to understand there are no visuals in the presentations except a white board They offer no modifications to poses whatsoever This is not the program for someone who is focusing on any type of adaptive modified yoga for all type approach It is also not trauma informed and I find that there are constant emails to students trying to loop you into affiliate and MLM programs which tells me that the goal here is questionable at best Nikolai the main trainer of the nn asana programs i e meditation provides a lot of different psychological education however he is not a psychotherapist and tries to provide training in that area and misses the mark and can be offensive with lack of cultural competency and understanding demonstrated As a trained therapist it s really out of his scope and needs to be adjusted I would say stay away from this program I honestly never thought this would be the outcome and was so excited to study from traditional yogis which I was told is a partner organization in India Bhaktiyogshala who evidently their YTT s go through however the administration YogaMu business practices and ultimately the lack of communication or acknowledgement of completion is very very poor Updated There was a response underneath claiming I m not a to student of Yogamu which is a lie I provided my Teachable account screenshot showing tons of courses I enrolled in from Yogamu with that brand name all ov r it I can provide the documents that have the Yogamu logo Nikolai and Tamryn s names on them and in the courses It is YogaMu who finally responded to my request which was another debacle and ended up in retaliation that very night which was completely unprofessional They replied with a slew of messages after I posted this review which contained gaslighting and included retaliation from YogaMu and even unprofessional response from Nikolai himself Added Nov 11 2022YogaMu responded by locking me out of my training on it s site on Teachable committing retaliation gaslighting stating it s not possible to do so on teachable I run a teachable school and know differently blaming me trying to get me to change my review to the positive because Bhaktiyogshala did confirm my YTT after going directly to YA 3 different times This process alone violates the basic concepts of yoga philosophy in the retaliation After I notified YogaMu that I had photographs of their retaliation against my truthful review of my experience with both organizations they immediately reestablished my coursework that I was in the middle of completing that very night and began gaslighting again Days later Nikolai reached out in email personally and was unprofessional abrasive and inappropriate in which I did not respond I unsubscribed to your system but continued to get harassing emails for your MLM even when blocking and putting them in spam Bhaktiyogshala did confirm my 300hour completion after the debacle described above As for YogaMu and Nikolai customer service and the retaliation I further decided due to direct retaliation and gaslighting that I am not taking further enrolled courses that I had not completed with them 5 or more and taking it as a loss and pursued them with more reputable organizations YA was made aware of this situation from the beginning and has all my documents in the grievance that was filed I will not comment further and you re continued sending me of emails even though I ve unsubscribed is harassing Note there original response was deleted this evening around 11 15pm CT and now they are claiming they are the wrong organization which is a complete fabrication and another episode of gaslighting

I have sent numerous emails asking for information on what I have to submit to complete my course but no one seems to be able to give me an answer I emailed the teacher who seems like a lovely person Once I asked if I could be directed to someone to inquire about getting a refund I was told I would be emailed a certification as soon as possible Luckily I am not out a lot of money as I got a black friday sale I am writing the review to warn others who might be on fence about this school Update I have been emailed a certificate At no point was I asking for the certificate without doing the work I only wanted to know what I had to submit how to access the monthly class etc Other YTT I have taken required a test and a sequence be submitted as proof of competency so was trying to be prepared I did not have to submit anything for this one Update 2 I agree that in person is a necessity one of my original questions was how to access the live class You are now contradicting yourself because I was sent a certificate despite all of the things you say I failed to do You asked why I gave a 1 star I responded to the email I will change it to a 3 star in hopes you stop emailing me

I ve completed most of the 200hr YTT Written materials are full of spelling errors and some misinformation Several of the recorded videos are so hard to hear I couldn t complete them Very few of the live or recorded sessions are friendly to those with different physical abilities Some of the videos spew misinformation too I supplemented my course with several books from reliable sources eg anatomy book written by a DPT and videos that are easier to learn from and provide alternatives for people whose bodies need them I ll complete the last 20 of the course but I would not recommend the program unless you plan to supplement as I did

I asked for a refund for the Ayurvedic Practitioner course within the 7 day refund period and was not given one I sent multiple emails to support and only once did I receive a reply They asked if I would like to credit the refund towards another course I said no thank you I would like a refund I never received a response nor a refund I sent more emails asking about my refund and never received a response I even opened up a new ticket which was closed my yogamu the very next day without resolution I filed a claim with my credit card company and Affirm Yogamu is a dishonest company Scam alert UPDATE Jan 31 2024 Well after sending multiple emails to Yogamu opening 3 claims with my credit card AND a claim with Affirm Shop pay I finally received my refund from Yogamu They said it took longer due to the holidays but somebody took the time to solve my email requesting a refund without providing a refund or communicating anything else I am relived that I got my refund but communication on Yogamu s behalf was seriously lacking
