After returning from the 200 Hr TTC program, I wanted to share an honest update about my experience.During the training, I clearly shared that I was struggling in the asana classes as a beginner and found many postures difficult even with adjustments. The teachers were aware of this and told me it would improve with practice. It was also said during the training that we would get one month of online live classes after the program for continued support, which felt reassuring.However, after returning, my experience changed because of how this support was handled. Although online live classes were mentioned as part of the offering, access was given only after submitting screenshots of reviews on multiple platforms.I shared a screenshot of my Google review and explained that I do not actively use the other two platforms. I also said I was willing to post the same review there once it became visible. Still, I was told that access would not be given unless screenshots from all three platforms were shared. Because of this, access was delayed and I missed a class.Even after getting access, I faced problems joining the online class. The link did not work. I was asked to wait and try again at a specific time, which I did, but it still didn’t work. After informing the team again, I did not receive any response during the class time. Since live classes are time-sensitive, the lack of timely support and follow-up was disappointing.As my struggles as a beginner were already known, missing this continued support felt discouraging.This changed the experience for me. What initially felt supportive started to feel transactional, which I did not expect from a yoga institution.From a student’s point of view, it also felt that reviews were incentivized and closely tied to access and benefits, which can influence how feedback is shared.I personally believe reviews should remain voluntary in learning experiences.This is only my honest experience.I am still grateful for what I learned and feel at peace with it.
