This course is worth 20 dollars. I'd say you get what you pay for but this course is actually like 70 dollars. The first thing I immediately noticed was that the health information is dated. They teach you anatomy but also say that there are yoga poses that treat spondylitis(which they misspell the whole thing is filled brimming with grammatical and spelling errors). They teach nutrition, but mostly vegetarian nutrition and why eating meat is unhealthy. This is a matter of opinion. It teaches yoga, and somehow of the 84 million of the yoga exercises there are, they chose the most advanced spine twisting yoga poses to teach. It is fun to see the advanced versions of different poses like locust, pigeon, and lotus....If I were training to teach other master yogis this would be a great course because a lot of these would be a great challenge! But, at your local american salon..... not so much. I'm not putting them down for their expertise because this is super pure, uncut, traditional old school yoga. As a long-time enthusiast, this sort of thing has value to me because it does provide a deeper background to practice. But it's not even a fun afternoon of studying the poses. The descriptions are very wordy, almost as if its a college student meeting a word minimum. As someone who's studying this to pass a certification test, I don't need to see "specialist's comments" that all closely resemble each other as if they were copy/pasted. If you're studying from an Iphone, good luck! The descriptions are on images, those images make the type absolutely tiny. I would be typing notes squinting at my phone screen. I already wear glasses, even zooming in on my phone, the text was nearly illegible. The test is open book, but you can't find anything quickly because of the descriptions are images. The test is also timed with the corresponding number of questions. So you have about a minute per question. Almost like they just wanted your money and didn't really care if you passed. Every time I sit down with this course, I quietly pray that the certification will at least get me a job as a yoga instructor so I can continue studying with a better course. otherwise, that is 20 dollars I just won't be getting back. I wouldn't recommend this course to anyone.
