YOGALUTION MOVEMENT Reviews (%countItem)

I signed up for a yoga teacher training certification with yogalution movement. The teacher was openly sexist and seemed to be high while teaching that last class I attended. There was no transparency with the preaching of her religious beliefs prior to signing up, yet she kept forcing her belief system as if she was more focused on being some sort of religious guru as opposed to teaching the yoga which I originally signed up to learned. I literally got no value out of this course and feel scammed.
Product_Or_Service: 200 hr yoga teacher training course

Desired Outcome

Refund I would like the *** refund, minus the cost of the books.

YOGALUTION MOVEMENT Response • Jun 11, 2020

This consumer filled out a lengthy application which included the question, "are you interested in spiritual yoga" to which his answer is stated "yes" on the application. (which I have submitted with this response) - I stated many many times on the first weekend and during orientation, this is a spiritually based yoga teacher training. which is why we ask that question on our application. If the applicant were to answer no, we would decline their application and let them know our program is not a good fit for them.

I repeatedly express in the training that I am not trying to convert anyone to any particular religious belief, but we are studying traditional yoga, with the traditional texts which are all oriented around spiritual living and spiritual principles. I have graduated many many students over the last decade. I have led almost 20 Teacher Trainings, and I have never ever ever had anyone tell me I am sexist or a cult leader trying to force my belief system on anyone - in fact - I am known in my community for my open mindedness and inclusiveness AND for my SPIRITUAL APPROACH to yoga

in addition to teaching the traditional teachings of yoga, we taught the physical aspect as well on these weekends. There are 18 other students currently completing the program who expressed they were satisfied with the balance of the teaching in regards to the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga. They have expressed the value this teacher training has brought into their lives many times over.

I have many students, colleagues and friends who can attest to my character in addition to the facts I have presented here.

As far as this consumer's complaint that I 'seemed to be high,' I have never received a complaint about my presentation of the teacher training curriculum. I check in regularly with students to make sure that all the information is understandable and clear. I consistently stop to answer questions and clarify the topics and spiritual philosophy discussed during the entire training.

This consumer agreed to the payment terms, which were :
$500 deposit NON REFUNDABLE (as advertised on our website)

He received services for the first 3 weekends of the training (out of 8), and then dropped out of the training - due to his complaints here. we returned monies for the remainder of the services that were not rendered -

Myself and my assistant made several attempts to reach out and communicate. The consumer wasn't interested in having a conversation to discuss and potentially resolve his concerns. The consumer expressed only that he wanted a refund, which we respected and quickly made arrangements to return his money within a week or two of his request. We never denied returning his money, we never gave the impression that we wouldn't be refunding the unused portion of his tuition. We made every effort to open up communication with him, but the consumer expressed did not want to talk further of the matter.

We returned the monies for services not rendered and retained the rest for the non refundable deposit and services already rendered.

This Yoga Teacher Training is very experienced based. As a part of the training, I share many personal stories about my own life and struggles. This consumer expressed to me (via text message) directly and specifically that I am sexist, because the stories (which are all based on my personal life experiences from the last 39 years) all have to do with men and men only. The consumer was very very upset with me, because as he told me "men aren't the only abusers, women are abusers too" So, because I was only talking about my struggles with men, that made me sexist in his view.

This consumer, by way of the application process, has informed us that he has PTSD that stems from an abusive upbringing with his mother who did horrible things to him, and other horrible atrocities that should never happen to anyone.

I have text messages from this consumer saying that because I talked about my experiences with my father, my ex husband and my spiritual teacher who is a male, the consumer stated that I was being a sexist and chauvinist, "because women are abusers too."

At no point did I ever make a sexist remark to him about him, or anyone. I shared my direct and personal experiences of struggle in my life. At no point in time did he receive any more or less information or attention than any other student in the training because of his gender.

Please see the attached document, which is Page 3 of the full application to our program.
