myYogaTeacher focuses on keeping costs down and membership rates down so that you get access to live yoga classes at an affordable price. Because we don't inflate our prices, and we make the everyday rate as low as possible, we can not give deep discounts.
But when you commit to your health and happiness through myYogaTeacher classes, we're happy to reward you with a discounted membership rate. You can see the discounted Membership Packages here.
You can pause your membership any time.
A membership pause is exactly like hitting pause on a show. It goes on hold when you want, and picks up right where it left off. (ie. If you pause with 2-weeks left in the billing cycle and one 1-on-1 session credit left unused, when you un-pause you will still have the one 1-on-1 session waiting to be used and your billing cycle will end 2-weeks after the un-pause.)
Note: The image below shows exactly how to pause your membership. Just go to "My Account" or click here to set a pause
Great! You can sign up today and set your membership start date for anytime in the future. Click here to see the Membership Plans and set a delayed start date.
You can also pause your Membership any time, read the "What if I want to go on vacation or know I'll be busy?" section to find out more.
No. Because all myYogaTeacher classes are live and the plan includes Unlimited Group Classes, the membership is intended for one person only. This allows us to fairly compensate your teacher.
Note: You can get a 10% family discount when any family member joins myYogaTeacher as a member. As long as both accounts are active and on the One 1-on-1 Session per Week Plan ($89) or higher, both memberships will enjoy the 10% discount. If you'd like to set up a family discount, please email us at care@myyogateacher.com
Yes. As long as you are on one device, your family may join your group classes.
When it comes to 1-on-1 sessions, they are meant to be 1-on-1. Your teacher is looking forward to (and has only prepared for) working with you 1-on-1. It's kind of like a personal training session. So please come alone and ready to practice!
Note: If you would like to practice in private group classes with your family and friends, you can book a Yoga with Friends session here, and invite them to join!
It depends on the Membership Plan you sign up for. The most popular plan is Two 1-on-1 Session per Week, so 8 sessions per billing cycle. If you sign up for the One 1-on-1 Session per Week plan, you get 4 sessions per billing cycle.
You can click here to check out the 1-on-1 Membership Plans.
You can use your 1-on-1 sessions whenever you want within each billing cycle.
Note: At the end of the billing cycle, any of this cycle's unused sessions will rollover to the next month. Please read the "What if I don't use all my 1-on-1 sessions, do they rollover?" section for more details on session rollover.
Yes. Every 4 weeks you will get new 1-on-1 session credits distributed to you. At the end of they cycle, if you have unused new credits, they will rollover to the next 4-week cycle. However, they cannot rollover into the following cycle (2-cycles later).
For example, if you are on the Two 1-on-1 Session per Week Membership Plan, you get 8 new session credits every 4-weeks.
Cycle 1: +8 new session credits, if you use 6, 2 will rollover into Cycle 2
Cycle 2: +8 new sessions credits +2 rollover = 10 session credits, only the 8 new credits can rollover into Cycle 3
So if you use 6 sessions in Cycle 2: -2 rollover, -4 new credits
Cycle 3: +8 new session credits +4 rollover = 12 session credits
Or if you use 1 session in Cycle 2: -1 rollover, -0 new credits
Cycle 3: +8 new session credits, +8 rollover = 16 session credits (the unused session from Cycle 1 cannot rollover to Cycle 3)
As shown above, when you take sessions, the rollover credits are consumed first. So you don't lose any unnecessary sessions.
Note: 1-on-1 session credits given to you by the care team, or when you refer a friend and they take a class with MYT never expire.
You can always go to "My Account" (or myyogateacher.com/profile) to see a graphical usage bar for your session credits.
If you have any questions about this, please email us at care@myyogateacher.com
You can click here to check out the 1-on-1 Membership Plans.
Yes, for your convenience, your membership will renew at the end of each billing cycle. You can cancel anytime if you'd like to discontinue your membership.
If you cancel, your membership will stay active until the end of the current billing cycle.
Yes, you can always upgrade or downgrade your membership.
Upgrades take effect immediately and your billing cycle will reset. Any unused time, or 1-on-1 sessions, will be refunded immediately. This is so you get access to the additional 1-on-1 credits right away. So it's kind of like resetting with the new upgraded Membership Plan.
Downgrades take effect at the end of the billing cycle, so that you continue to have access to your current 1-on-1 session credits.

In fact, doctors are now prescribing yoga as treatment and prevention for osteoporosis and osteopenia, making it an important part of maintaining physical health and wellness throughout your 50s and 60s — and beyond.\\n\\nOsteoporosis and osteopenia are conditions that commonly emerge throughout our later years, and if left untreated they can affect your mobility, bone density, and even your ability to remain self-sufficient. These conditions cause bones to be come weak and brittle, and over time more vulnerable to fractures and even breakage. \\n\\nBut a recent\\n \\n2016 study\\n discovered that yoga can be used in conjunction with other treatments to prevent the loss of bone density and in some cases reverse early onset of osteoporosis. Plus, as an added benefit, yoga is also a low-cost and low-risk treatment option, meaning there is little to lose by giving it a try.\\n\\nHow Yoga Can Treat Osteoporosis\\nThe process by which yoga treats and prevents osteoporosis is simple — through stretching and strengthening your muscle tissue you can build bone density and prevent fractures. Yoga postures exert subtle force upon your bones, prompting them to build up density and become stronger.\\n\\nYoga also improves your balance, which can help prevent falls — which may result in fractures or breakage. Along with building strength and flexibility, yoga also increases your mobility, endurance, and energy levels, helping you stay active no matter your age.\\n\\nIt should be noted that yoga may not cure osteoporosis on its own, and for some advanced cases it may not be effective in reversing this disease. Results vary on an individual basis, depending on your age, bone density, and other factors such as weight and co-existing conditions\\n\\nPracticing Yoga for Osteoporosis\\nIf you’re thinking of starting your own yoga regimen to prevent or reverse osteoporosis, there are a few things you should know. It’s important to first consult your doctor before practicing yoga for osteoporosis or osteopenia, to find out if there are any specific precautions you should be taking and whether or not it’s a safe activity for you. \n\\nPatients with advanced osteoporosis who have suffered fractures, breaks, or acute bone loss may need to avoid practicing yoga. If you’ve recently undergone surgery or if you’re still healing from an injury, you should wait until you’ve fully recovered before getting started.\n\\nMost importantly, you should take care to listen to your body when practicing yoga for osteoporosis. If a particular yoga pose causes pain or strain on your bones or joints, stop for a moment and take a break. Or, try using a modification like a bolster, block, or yoga blanket if applicable.\\n\\nIn their 2016 study, scientists found that the best results for using yoga as treatment for osteoporosis came from regular practice. Try performing yoga poses at least 3-4 times per week, or daily if you can. The more regularly you practice, the more bone density you’ll build, and the more strength and balance you’ll develop in your body.\\n\\n8 Yoga Poses for Osteoporosis:\\nIf you’ve been cleared by your doctor to practice yoga and you’re ready to get started, there are some simple yoga poses you can do at home to help prevent osteoporosis. You can also try taking a yoga class specifically designed for patients with osteoporosis. Here at\\n \\nMyYogaTeacher\\n, certified instructors can help you stay safe and injury free while giving you the independence to practice yoga in the comfort of your home.\\nReady to get started? \\nFollow the steps below to begin your own personal yoga journey.\\n\\n1. Mountain Pose (Tadasana)\\n\\nThe foundation of all balance poses, Mountain pose helps you find stability and improve your posture.\\nStart by standing at the front of your mat. Keep your feet hip distance apart, and you can rest your arms at your sides or bring your hands together in prayer formation. Inhale and feel your chest opening and your collar bones widening as you focus on balancing your weight proportionally on both of your feet. Gaze straight forward and maintain this pose for 1-2 minutes.\\n \\n2. Tree Pose (Vrksasana)\\n\\nFrom Mountain pose, you’ll begin to transition into Tree pose to further improve your balance and stability.\\nBring your awareness to your left foot and firmly ground it into the mat. Begin to shift your body weight to your left foot, while gently lifting your right foot. Depending on your ability to balance, you can place the sole of your right foot on your left calf or thigh. As you do this, be sure to keep your pelvis aligned, your spine straight, and your gaze focused forward. Give yourself a moment to steady yourself, and then, if you feel comfortable, press your hands together in prayer formation. Hold for 5-6 deep breaths and repeat on the other side, then return to Mountain pose.\\n \\n3. Warrior II Pose (Virabhadrasana 2)\\n\\nThis standing pose also improves your balance and builds strength in your legs and core. If you have trouble balancing and wish to modify this pose, try practicing it next to a wall or with a chair.\\nMove to the back portion of your mat and step your right foot forward. Your right toes should be pointed forward and your left (back) foot should be kept parallel with your mat. Bend your right knee at 90 degrees, taking care not to overextend. Your right knee should not move forward past your toes. With your hips evenly squared, stretch your arms out to both sides, so that your right arm extended out in front of you and your left arm behind you. Open your chest and focus on activating your legs so that you are grounded into your mat. Hold this pose for 5-6 breaths and repeat on the other side.\\n \\n4. Triangle Pose (Trikonasana)\\n\\nThis pose also requires strength and balance, and can be modified by performing it next to a wall. You can also place a block next to your front foot for easier hand positioning. \\nJust like with Warrior II, step your right foot forward for Triangle pose, keeping your left (back) foot parallel with your mat. Inhale and stretch out both your arms the same as in Warrior II, but keep your right leg straight with a slight, soft bend in your knee. As you exhale, hinge at your hip and bend forward, placing your right fingertips on the floor, or you can place your hand on the block positioned next to your right foot. Turn your upper body and reach your left hand toward the ceiling, and either turn your head to gaze up at your hand, or keep your eyes focused straight ahead. Hold for 3-5 breaths and repeat on the other side.\\n \\n5. Cat-Cow Pose (Chakravakasana)\\n\\nThis pose is excellent for increasing mobility in your spine and hips.\\nMove to a tabletop position on your mat, with your hands and knees on the floor. Inhale and look up, lifting your chin and gently arching your back. Feel the stretch in your chest and abdomen. As you exhale, drop your chin and look down toward your naval as you curl your spine forward. Continue this movement 5-10 times.\\n \\n6. Locust Pose (Shalabhasana)\\n\\nLike Cat-Cow, Locust improves your spinal mobility with a soft backbend, but in this pose you will also be working your core muscles, glutes, and shoulders.\\nFrom Cat-Cow, lower yourself onto the mat so that you are lying face down on your stomach with your legs extended straight and your arms at your sides. On your inhale, strengthen your core and lift your head, legs and arms at the same time, balancing your body on your lower abdomen, pelvis and upper legs. Engage your glutes and press both of your legs together while holding them up. Hold this pose for 5-6 breaths, and then relax back onto your mat.\\n \\n7. Child’s Pose (Balasana)\\n\\nAfter the strengthening work of Locust pose, give your body a rest with Child’s pose\\nAfter Locust you’ve likely returned to lying face down on your mat. Press your palms and knees into the floor as if you were rising back into tabletop position, but this time bring your hips back so that your buttocks are resting on your heels, and your big toes are touching each other. Extend your arms forward so that your palms are resting on the mat in front of you, and bring your forehead to the mat. Breathe gently and allow your body to fully sink into this pose, supported by the floor. Hold for 5-6 minutes.\\n \\n8. Corpse Pose (Savasana)\\n\\nAfter practicing the above stretching and strengthening poses, it’s important to let your body fully digest the movement by resting in Corpse pose. \\nCome to a seated position on your mat. Slowly lower your body to the floor, so that you are lying flat on your back with your legs extended straight and your arms at your sides, palms facing up. Close your eyes and bring your focus inward. Bring your awareness to your body and check in with each and every body part, noticing if you feel any tension and allowing yourself to fully relax. Soften your face, neck, and shoulders, and let yourself melt into your mat while visualizing any tension leaving your body. Rest in this post for 5-7 minutes."},"category":["pain_management"]},{"id":"clct29qar2mln09k7b9xhmih5","slug":"8-yoga-poses-for-psoas-pain-relief","author":{"name":"Will","teacherMytSlug":"will-1","pictureUrl":"will.jpeg"},"title":"8 Yoga Poses for Psoas Pain Relief","subTitle":"Learn yoga poses that target your psoas muscle to relieve pain.","seoTitle":null,"seoDescription":"By practicing a few specific yoga poses, you can directly stretch the psoas and surrounding areas, relieving tension, pain, and stiffness\n","readTime":null,"excerpt":null,"tags":[],"createdAt":"2023-01-12T12:22:46.336259+00:00","coverUrl":"fitbgltpzxzyqblmzhjg.jpg","content":{"text":"Possibly the most integral muscle group in your entire body, the psoas governs the central functioning of your core. Without it, you wouldn’t be able to move properly, walk, stand, or do much of anything, because the muscles in this group also attach your legs to your spine.\\n\\nIssues with your psoas can be deeply painful, and it’s a difficult area to massage. The psoas major, psoas minor, and iliacus combined make up your iliopsoas, commonly referred as simply the psoas. And when the psoas is unhappy, it can cause symptoms with a range of severity, from slightly uncomfortable to totally debilitating, like difficulty walking or standing upright, lower back pain, and pelvic pain. \n\\nAthletic injuries, prolonged periods of sitting and surgery can affect the health of your psoas, and if you’re experiencing a tight and shortened psoas, it’s likely you’re also suffering from weakness and pain. You can relieve your symptoms and fully recover from psoas issues by stretching and strengthening this important muscle group with yoga. \n\\nHow to Relieve Psoas Pain\\n\\nPsoas pain can affect the entire structure of your body, causing adjoining muscles to become overworked and your posture to become off-kilter, leading to widespread chronic pain. Yoga can help correct issues with your psoas and get you back to feeling balanced again. By practicing a few specific yoga poses, you can directly stretch the psoas and surrounding areas, relieving tension, pain, and stiffness.\\n\\nIt’s important to also strengthen the psoas to enable your body to function properly. A weak psoas can put enormous strain on your surrounding muscles and joints, and a strong core is essential for your physical health. By lengthening and strengthening your psoas at the same time, you can correct issues and reduce pain.\n\\nIf you’re suffering from a tight or weak psoas, try practicing the yoga poses below on a regular basis to start the healing process.\n\\n8 Yoga Poses for Psoas Pain Relief\\n\n\\n1. Low Lunge Pose\\n\\nLow Lunge is an easy pose to start lengthening your psoas muscles, and you can adjust this position to stretch as deeply as you feel comfortable.\\nFrom a kneeling position, start by bringing your left foot forward and bending your left leg at the knee. Inhale while reaching your arms over your head, keeping them parallel with the sides of your head. Allow your chest to expand and lengthen your spine. Remember to keep your chin level and your gaze focused straight ahead. Repeat on the other side.\\n \\n2. Tree Pose\\n\\nTree pose strengthens and stretches your psoas muscles by isolating the area building strength through balance.\\nStand in Mountain pose and place your feet hip distance apart, arms relaxed at your sides. Gently shift your body weight to your left foot and bending your right knee, lifting it upward. Place the sole of your right foot on the inside of your left thigh. Keep your spine and head straight, with your gaze facing forward. Give yourself a moment to steady your balance, bring your hands together in Namaste formation. Hold for 5-6 deep breaths.\\n \\n3. Boat Pose\\n\\nOne of the best asanas for your core, Boat pose strengthens your abdominal muscles for better balance and posture.\\nStart by sitting with your legs stretched out in front of you and your arms at your sides. Lean back slightly so that your weight is evenly balanced. Inhale, engage your core, and exhale as you lift both your legs to a 45 degree angle, and extend your arms straight out alongside your legs. If this pose feels too difficult, try bending your knees and bringing your hands behind your knees for support. Keep your spine long and your core engaged as you hold this pose for 30-45 seconds.\\n \\n4. Knee-To-Chest Pose\\n\\nWhen your psoas is in pain and walking or standing upright feels difficult, Knee-To-Chest pose offers a supine stretch that can relieve your symptoms.\\nLie down flat on your back with your arms at your sides. Inhale, and then as you exhale, bring your right knee to your chest. Thoughtfully extend and stretch your left leg until you feel the tension begin to release from your abs and inside your hip. As you hug your knee to your chest, remember to breathe and focus on allowing your core to fully relax. Hold for 30-60 seconds and repeat on the other side.\\n \\n5. Dancer’s Pose\\n\\nLike Tree pose, Dancer’s pose works to strengthen your psoas through balance, with a deep stretch that lengthens all of the muscles in the front side of your torso. \\nStand in the middle of your mat with your weight evenly balanced on both feet. Transfer your weight onto your left foot while bending your right knee and grabbing your right foot with your right hand. Lift your left arm up toward the ceiling. Bend at your waist and slowly lean forward, lifting your right leg and engaging your core. You can deepen the stretch by creating some resistance — simply push outward with your right foot while pulling in with your right hand. For better balance, focus your gaze on a fixed point in front of you. Hold for 3-5 breaths, then repeat on the other side.\\n \\n6. Supported Bridge Pose\\n\\nSupported Bridge pose uses a yoga block to both support your weight and lengthen the muscles in your core and inside your hips.\\nStart by lying on your back with your knees bent and a yoga block placed nearby. On your next exhale, tuck your chin and lift your hips, being careful not to allow your knees to splay outward. Take your yoga block and place underneath your lower back, supporting your weight and providing a deep stretch to the frontside of your pelvis. Stay in the pose for 30-60 seconds.\\n \\n7. Reclining Hero’s Pose\\n\\nBy modifying Hero’s pose to a reclining position, you can gently lengthen your psoas and stretch your quad muscles.\\nKneel on your yoga mat and rest your buttocks on the backs of your heels. Sit with your spine straight and inhale, and as you exhale, begin to gently lower your torso to the floor. You can move slowly, lowering yourself onto your back one vertebrae at a time. Rest your hands on your chest or reach your arms above your head to increase the stretch. Once your are resting on your back, you can also bring your focus to your hips and allow them to rise slightly upward for a greater stretch in your psoas minor.\\n \\n8. Cobra Pose\\n\\nCobra pose lengthens your abdominal muscles and releases tension in your lower back.\\nLie on your stomach with your legs extended, arms folded under your head and your chin resting on your forearms. Place your hands at the level of your chest and press down with your hands. Slightly lift your head off the mat, keeping your head and back aligned, and press your thighs together. Now, steadily pull your elbows towards your ribs and align your hands and shoulders. On a deep inhale, press your hands into the mat, curl your shoulders backward, and lift your upper body off the mat. Make sure to gaze upward and press your hips into the mat to target your psoas.

Trying to be unique or give something that stands out can be difficult. But yoga is the gift that keeps on giving! When you give someone the gift of yoga, you’re reminding them how important it is to take time for themselves. Helping them to create space and routine they may not have otherwise. Thinking of giving a \\nMyYogaTeacher gift card\\n for the holidays? There's so many reasons to give the gift of yoga and mindfulness this season! If you’re a yogi, you know the many benefits of yoga and how helpful it is to your day to day life!

It’s such a beautiful way to show gratitude to those around us. \\nIt becomes a routine. \\nDid you know it takes 21 days to build a habit?

Yoga is a great way to balance out celebrating with mindful movement. \\n \\nIt will last long after the holidays.\\n A lot of times, we buy gifts for the moment and the facade wears off quickly. Rather than another useless gadget, yoga gives you the opportunity to learn something new. \\n Yoga can jumpstart your New Year’s goals! \\nMost of us start our fitness goals after the holiday rush. But by giving the gift of yoga, you give your loved ones a leg up on the gym game! \\n If you’re a member, it’s an opportunity to spend more time together. \\nPurchasing a gift card for a friend or family member means you can take classes together even if you’re apart! \\nYoga improves your outlook. \\nIf your loved one has had a tough year or is moving through a hard season in their life, yoga is a great way to increase happiness and overall outlook by introducing them to a mindful practice.\\n It relieves the effects of holiday stress. \\nBetween the shopping, parties and traffic, the holiday season can be \\nvery stressful\\n.

Most people described it as a magical night.\\n\\nTai Chi to Start 2nd Day\\n\\n\\n\\nThe next morning, we woke up early and tired from the drum party that went late into the night. Kannan led us in a grounding and energizing Tai Chi session on the beach. We learned to \\nstay rooted and firm in the earth, while fluid and supple in our movement\\n. It woke us up and gave us a collective energy that took us laughing and chatting all the way through breakfast.\n\nOh, and breakfast at the resort was AMAZING!\\n\\nWater Sports & Pool Time\\n\\n\\n\\nThe afternoon was full of banana boat rides, parasailing, speed boating, and hanging out by the pool. It was a blast!\\n\\nAward Ceremony\\n\\n\\n\\nMy personal favorite part of the MyYogaTeacher Get-Together in Goa was the award ceremony. \n\\nWe recognized so many teachers and staff members individually - for all their \\ndedication and passion to making MyYogaTeacher the beautiful community of yogis that we've become\\n. Every single person, member, staff, and teacher has \\nmade MyYogaTeacher a place of healing, connection, joy, and collective evolution\\n. We are all so proud of what we're doing here together!\n\\nAfter recognizing teachers for milestones like 3,000 hours of teaching on the platform, giving out \"Buddha Award\" for employee of the year, and singing happy birthday to TWO of the event participants...\\n\\nWE DANCED\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nThe band played all the Bollywood hits from the 80's, 90's, and 2000's. I didn't fully understand it, I'm told it was nostalgic. But what I did see was an \\nentire room full of people swept up in a dancing frenzy\\n full of energy and joy. Everyone, and I mean E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E., even me, grooved on the dance floor, \\nsmiling, laughing, and jumping with infectious joy\\n. It was incredible! \\n\\nMorning Meditation\\n\\n\\n\\nAfter another late night of celebration - a beachside meditation led by \\nSandeep\\n was \\nthe perfect way to start the day\\n. Finding presence as the waves gently rumbled on the shore, we began our final day in Goa together.\\n\\nGoodbye Goa… for Now\\n\\n\\n\\nAnd finally, we said goodbye. Words and pictures can't capture this special experience, and don't do it justice. \n\\nI want to thank each and every teacher, member, and staff\\n who joined the event and made it the magical experience it was. I want to thank every one of us for being there in spirit and making MyYogaTeacher the incredible community of yogis that it has become.\\n\\nI hope you join us next year.

The most common questions people ask are:\\n\\n\"I've only been practicing a few months, is that enough for a 200-hour yoga teacher training course?\"\\n\"I'm not that flexible or fit, will I be able to keep up with the course?\"\\n\"I just want to learn more and I don't actually want to teach yoga, is it a good idea to take a yoga TTC?\"\\n\\nIn this short article, you'll get answers to each of these questions. So that you can know if Yoga Teacher Training is right for you!\\n[CTA-DEFAULT]\\n\\nCan beginners keep up with a Yoga Teacher Training Course?\\n\\nThe biggest mistake people make, when it comes to Yoga Teacher Training, is thinking that it's just for Intermediate or Advanced yogis.\\n\\nSome Yoga TTCs are very advanced. They require extreme flexibility and fitness.\\n\\nBut many other TTCs are perfect for beginners! TTCs like this are the fastest way to take your practice from complete novice, to intermediate (maybe even advanced) practitioner.\\n\\nMost 200-hour Teacher Training Courses are perfect for beginner and intermediate yogis\\n.\\n\\nI asked Rohan, the lead teacher of MyYogaTeacher's 200-hr TTC, \"who will have a good experience in your TTC, and who should avoid it?\"\\n\\nHe told me, \\nthe only people who should not take his TTC are those with serious medical conditions\\n (like heart problems).\\n\\nSo this means, you will likely have a great experience in a 200-hr TTC even if you're not very fit or flexible yet. So if you're stiff, out of shape, or a beginner to yoga, that's perfectly OK.\\n\\nYou might be challenged for the first couple of weeks. But you'll loosen up and get in shape fast. I've seen tons of seniors, not in particularly good shape, keep up with and enjoy their TTC.\\n\\nA 200-hr TTC will take you from Beginner to Intermediate (maybe even Advanced practitioner)!\\n\\n\\nHow fit & flexible do you have to be for a Yoga Teacher Training Course?\\n\\nYou don't have to be very fit or flexible to enjoy your TTC, become a great yoga teacher, and have fun deepening your practice!\\n\\nDuring my 500-hour yoga TTC, I got way more flexible. But when it comes to forward bends, my bone structure limits me. I still can't touch my toes with straight legs...\\n\\nDoes that make me a bad yoga teacher?\\n\\nOf course not! ... and my students always love my classes. Not because I was so flexible in every \\nasana\\n, but because I made \\nlearning yoga fun and low-pressure!\\n\\nI showed them that you don't have to be pretzel-flexible to get a healthy body and find inner-peace.\\n\\nIn your TTC — you will get more flexible!\\n But even if you never bend like a contortionist; that shouldn't stop you from enjoying \\nyoga\\n, going deeper in your practice, and sharing with others.\\n\\nWhether you sign up for a TTC or not, I hope you \\nnever judge your yoga by your flexibility!\\n That's like judging a cake by the look of its frosting.\\n\\nIt's not the appearance of the cake that matters. It's the flavor that's important!\\n\\nAnd in yoga, the flavor is your \\ninner-joy\\n.\\n\\n\\nIs it worthwhile to join a TTC even if you don't want to teach?\\n\\nThe answer is: \\nYes\\n. Even if you don't want to teach, it's \\nan amazing experience and you'll be happy\\n you signed up!\\n\\nWhen I took my TTC in 2013, I had no interest in teaching.\\n\\nI was falling in love with yoga because I had spent my entire life feeling anxious. I was stressed in every social situation and this was wreaking havoc on my body, my mind, and my closest relationships.\\n\\nWhen I \\npracticed yoga — I felt free — happy, and at peace\\n.\\n\\nI wanted to \\nfeel that way more often\\n. So I \\nsigned up for a TTC\\n hoping I could ground myself in these positive feelings.\\n\\nAnd you know, I thought I would be the only one in my class who didn't want to teach. But one night, when me and my classmates were joking around and studying together, we started talking about why we signed up.\\n\\nOnly a few people wanted to work as yoga teachers. Pretty much everyone else \\njoined because they loved yoga and wanted to deepen their practice\\n.\\n\\nMy TTC gave me exactly what I hoped for (and things I never could have expected). So much more self-awareness, self-love, and self-compassion... And when you feel that way towards yourself, it's easy to feel that way towards others too!\\n\\nIf you're considering signing up for a Teacher Training Course — \\neven if you don't plan on teaching\\n — I know \\nyou'll love it!\\n\\nYou'll learn more about yoga, go deeper in your practice, and feel those great yoga-feelings — the healthy body, peaceful mind, and joyful attitude.\\n[CTA-GC]\\nSummary\\n\\nSo it doesn't matter if you're out of shape, stiff, a beginner to yoga, and you don't want to teach. As long as you enjoy yoga and want to go deeper in your practice a TTC can be a life enriching experience.\\n\\nYou'll make life-long friends with similar interests and values, you'll have a lot of fun, and you'll learn a lot about yoga.\\n\\nmyYogaTeacher offers regular\\n TTCs with expert Indian teachers — 100% LIVE\\n.

The ideas where you personally feel the need. These are ideas where you feel a sense of \\nmission\\n and you are compelled to pursue them because you feel that the universe and your entire life has been building up for you to bring the idea to reality.\\n\\nYou see – My name – Jitendra – is derived from Sanskrit and it means “one who has control of his senses.” For the most part, I felt I lived up to this but while running my previous startup I found myself miserable and losing control.\\n\\nOn the outside, I had it all together. I owned successful companies, had tons of friends and a great family. I had everything I wanted and worked so hard for … but despite all of that, I had thoughts running like trains in my head I could not control, I was not sleeping well, not exercising enough, counting the days to my next break and feeling like there was more to life. There was something that I was missing. You know what I mean?\\n\\nI felt sad and depressed pretty much every day. My eating habits were terrible and all my efforts to improve fell flat. My mind circled in unhealthy thought patterns that I just couldn’t stop.\\n\\nI didn’t feel good in my body, I didn’t feel good in my mind, and I didn’t feel good in my life.\\n\\nNow, I’m originally from India. Of course I had heard about Yoga since I was a child. Even here in America, Yoga is a big deal. A regular \\nYoga practice\\n creates peace, drastically increases health and well-being and can even help you to lose weight.\\n\\n[CTA-DEFAULT]\\n\\nThese were all the things I desperately needed.\\n\\nBut, despite knowing all that, I didn’t want to go to a yoga studio! I was out of shape, totally inflexible and just plain self-conscious.\\n\\nMy old friend, who lived in India and practiced Yoga everyday, said the best way to learn yoga was the classic Guru–shishya relationship that has been passed down for generations. To put this in modern terms (and to pass on the outdated “guru” idea), this meant having a connection with a teacher to learn from directly. A teacher who could get to know me and my unique struggles. My friend offered to find someone for me and I agreed.\\n\\nHe delivered!!!\\n\\nHe found me Pranjal, a yoga teacher with 8 years of teaching experience and 1,600 hours of certified teacher training! Yes, you read that correctly – a whopping 1,600 hours of training.\\n\\nBut, she lived in Pune, India and I was in California! So we decided to try practicing through video calls.\\n\\nI was skeptical – Yoga is a physical thing! Was she going to see me well? Would she be able to tell how I was doing and give me the guidance I needed? I was just starting out and was going to need A LOT of help.\\n\\nBut Pranjal was amazing!\\n\\nShe helped me build the strength and \\nflexibility\\n to perform the postures really well. She guided me towards realistic goals. I could feel and notice the improvement in each session.\\n\\nThe flexibility, strength and ability to meet challenging postures in my yoga practice was spilling into my mental health as well.\\n\\nI was happier, calmer and able to make healthier decisions (and stick to them). I was losing weight and the stress from building my businesses practically vanished. I still get stressed but I don’t take it home with me.\\n\\nAfter a few months, I felt ready to go practice in a yoga studio…\\n\\nWhat. A. Disappointment!!!\\n\\nAfter all the 1-on-1 personal attention I was getting from Pranjal, it was a bitter experience to finally feel ready to practice in public. The teacher had no time to focus on me.\\n\\nYeah, she would do (MAYBE) one correction during the class. But nothing more. She didn’t KNOW my body the way Pranjal did. She didn’t help me to set goals or work toward them. She didn’t change the pace of the class when I felt ready to\\n\\nIn the group classes, I was just another one of 30 people the teacher needed to keep track of.\\n\\nAfter a few classes of that, I sprinted back to Pranjal!\\n\\nBut something was off…with all my tech skills and entrepreneurial spirit, I needed to share this with other people. I knew there were tons of people too busy to go to a studio, too shy to practice in front of others. People who need and want the 1-on-1 personal attention that will help them to progress, heal, and grow fast!\\n\\nI knew there were so many people out there ready and waiting for yoga to transform their lives.\\n\\nWith a team of amazing people, I started myYogaTeacher to improve physical and mental well being of the entire planet. To help empower you to take positive steps forward in your life. And even to heal the symptoms of pain and illness that we’ve seen yoga heal.\\n\\nSound’s big, doesn’t it?\\n\\nIt’s a bold mission, but I also know that our teachers have the power to make it a reality for every one of our students. So I brought together a team of awesome engineers to start working on myYogaTeacher.\\n\\nBut, most importantly, I hired a group of scouts in India to find the best yoga teachers in the country.\\n\\nAfter 8 months of hard work, it’s time for the big test! We launched recently and I am so excited to see this venture grow. I value all of my businesses, but helping people improve their physical and mental health through a personal connection to one of the best \\nYoga teachers\\n of the East is close to my heart.\\n\\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\\n\\nI genuinely hope you try and enjoy your time with myYogaTeacher.

All Membership Plans include \\nUnlimited\\n Group Classes. So you can take 5+ classes per day if you'd like. You can \\nclick here to check out the different Membership Plans\\n.\\n\\nHow long is my Membership billing cycle?\\n\\nmyYogaTeacher has a unique billing cycle to help with 1-on-1 Membership Plans. The \\nstandard billing cycle is 4-weeks\\n. \\n\\nHowever, if you sign up for one of the \\ndiscounted Membership Packages\\n, then the billing cycle is the time you've chosen to sign up for (3-months, 6-months, or 1-year).\\n\\nNote:\\n If your 3-month, 6-month, or 1-year Membership Package includes 1-on-1 sessions, your 1-on-1 credits will be distributed to you every 4-weeks. This is to help you ration your sessions; and build and maintain healthy habits.\\n\\nCan I get a discount?\\n\\nYes!\\n When you sign up for a 3-month, 6-month, or 1-year plan, you can \\nsave up to 20% off your membership rate\\n.\\n\\nmyYogaTeacher focuses on keeping costs down and membership rates down so that you get access to live yoga classes at an affordable price. Because \\nwe don't inflate our prices, and we make the everyday rate as low as possible\\n, we can not give deep discounts.\\n\\nBut when you commit to your health and happiness through myYogaTeacher classes, we're happy to reward you with a discounted membership rate. You can \\nsee the discounted Membership Packages here\\n.\\n\\nWhat if I want to go on vacation or know I'll be busy?\\n\\nYou can \\npause your membership any time\\n.\\n\\nA membership pause is exactly like hitting pause on a show. It goes on hold when you want, and picks up right where it left off. (ie. If you pause with 2-weeks left in the billing cycle and one 1-on-1 session credit left unused, when you un-pause you will still have the one 1-on-1 session waiting to be used and your billing cycle will end 2-weeks after the un-pause.)\\n\\nNote:\\n The\\n image below shows exactly how to pause your membership\\n. Just \\ngo to \"My Account\" or click here\\n to set a pause\\n\\n\\nWhat if I know I want to sign up for membership in the future, but not today?\\n\\nGreat!

This allows us to fairly compensate your teacher.\\n\\nNote:\\n You can get a \\n10% family discount\\n when any family member joins myYogaTeacher as a member. As long as both accounts are active and on the One 1-on-1 Session per Week Plan ($89) or higher, both memberships will enjoy the 10% discount.

As long as you are on one device, \\nyour family may join your group classes\\n.\\n\\nWhen it comes to \\n1-on-1 sessions, they are meant to be 1-on-1\\n. Your teacher is looking forward to (and has only prepared for) working with you 1-on-1. It's kind of like a personal training session. So please come alone and ready to practice!\\n\\nNote:\\n If you would like to practice in private group classes with your family and friends, you can \\nbook a Yoga with Friends session here\\n, and invite them to join!\\n\\nHow many 1-on-1 sessions do I get?\\n\\nIt \\ndepends on the Membership Plan\\n you sign up for. The most popular plan is \\nTwo 1-on-1 Session per Week\\n, so 8 sessions per billing cycle. If you sign up for the \\nOne 1-on-1 Session per Week\\n plan, you get 4 sessions per billing cycle.\\n\\nYou can \\nclick here to check out the 1-on-1 Membership Plans\\n.\\n\\nDo I have to use my 1-on-1 sessions weekly, or can I use them whenever?\\n\\nYou can use your 1-on-1 sessions whenever you want within each billing cycle\\n.\\n\\nNote:\\n At the end of the billing cycle, any of this cycle's unused sessions will rollover to the next month. Please read the \"What if I don't use all my 1-on-1 sessions, do they rollover?\" section for more details on session rollover. \\n\\nWhat if I don't use all my 1-on-1 sessions, do they rollover?\\n\\nYes\\n. Every 4 weeks you will get new 1-on-1 session credits distributed to you. At the end of they cycle, if you have unused new credits, they will rollover to the next 4-week cycle. \\nHowever, they cannot rollover into the following cycle (2-cycles later)\\n.\\n\\nFor example\\n, if you are on the Two 1-on-1 Session per Week Membership Plan, you get 8 new session credits every 4-weeks.\\n\\nCycle 1: +8 new session credits, if you use 6, 2 will rollover into Cycle 2\\nCycle 2: +8 new sessions credits +2 rollover = 10 session credits, only the 8 new credits can rollover into Cycle 3\\n\\nSo if you use 6 sessions in Cycle 2: -2 rollover, -4 new credits\\nCycle 3: +8 new session credits +4 rollover = 12 session credits\\n\\nOr if you use 1 session in Cycle 2: -1 rollover, -0 new credits\\nCycle 3: +8 new session credits, +8 rollover = 16 session credits (the unused session from Cycle 1 cannot rollover to Cycle 3)\\n\\nAs shown above, when you take sessions, the rollover credits are consumed first. So you don't lose any unnecessary sessions.\\n\\nNote:\\n 1-on-1 session credits given to you by the care team, or when you refer a friend and they take a class with MYT never expire.\\n\\nYou can always \\ngo to \"My Account\" (or \\nmyyogateacher.com/profile\\n) to see a graphical usage bar for your session credits\\n. \\n\\nIf you have any questions about this, please email us at \\ncare@myyogateacher.com\\n\\n\\nYou can \\nclick here to check out the 1-on-1 Membership Plans\\n.\\n\\nWill my membership automatically renew?\\n\\nYes, for your convenience\\n, your membership will renew at the end of each billing cycle.

Any unused time, or 1-on-1 sessions, will be refunded immediately. This is so you get access to the additional 1-on-1 credits right away.
