I had studied a bit about yoga but never from this "age" or "phase" perspective. I find Rachel's explanations clear and fun to listen to.

I have completed 3 x 200 hour Yoga Teacher Trainings and not one of them explained the history of yoga in such detail and understanding way like this course! It was mind-blowing. I absolutely loved learning about the history of Yoga and can not wait to share all that I have learned with my students. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I can appreciate how much work it must have been to put together such a great outlined summary of this vast history! I really enjoyed this. I am so inspired to learn more about the philosophical contributions these ages have provided to our modern practice. Also recently with ‘International Yoga Day’ just passing, I saw many Instagram posts about the colonization of yoga and understood only based on what people posted / wrote in captions or comments about this idea. I have a better grasp now after this ‘overview of yoga history’ of how important it is to educate ourselves continuously as teachers about this tradition and that we really need to work to represent it authentically and work towards not appropriating it out of ignorance. Thank you for this and thank you for offering this during the summer to us members! So grateful!

This course really puts yoga in perspective. Now I know how komplex and how long it took to have this practice today. Made me love yoga even more.

Loved Rachel's energy and down-to-earth explanations of the 7 eras. Intro videos for each section gave a clear link to the previous section. Great recap of all material in the final quiz.

Although I understood that yoga has a long history in India, this overview of yoga history revealed just how deep and rich that history is. When I think about yoga now, I can see how this is embedded in the modern form we practice. Thank you for this important part of a holistic yoga teacher training!

This is my 4th week into the program and I have absolutely LOVED learning more about the history of yoga. you will learn so many cool things that will really change your assumptions on yoga. A lot is being covered, but it is a great course and Rachel's positive energy and storytelling talent really made the learning process interesting and fun!
