DoYogaWithMe 200 Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training

This course gave me a lot of hints for reflection and self-introspection, and thanks to it I discovered a couple of guided meditations by David that I loved. I surely recommend this course

This course, Let go of Fear and Anxiety, provides practical insights and actions one can take every day (every thought) to begin the untangling process. David provided a safe space from which to begin to re-frame my fear and anxiety based on past experiences of pain, sorrow, and trauma. Starting the act of untangling by way of shifts in perspective. This daily practice creates a lens through which I can see how releasing my anxiety over merely existing can re-frame how I respond to the shape shifting nature of my life. Not being tied to a persona is a big step! Another takeaway from this course is allowing time to meander. Truly processing information and emotions. It can feel uncomfortable to not always have a plan of action, I definitely struggle with addiction to constant stimulation. But I know it is important to have time for processing. Slowing down provides space allowing me to grow in awareness of what I am truly feeling in the present moment. From this space, I can begin to release old habits and behaviors that are no longer of use in my life. This all takes a lot of focus and even more surrender, at least in my experience. I have been habituated to believe my productivity equals my value. But that is simply not true, even if my current culture is set up to support that notion. Lastly, there is a forum in which you can share your experience of the practice each day. This space is so healing. A gentle reminder that we are all experiencing this life, this moment, together.

Very helpful. I like the simplicity and the way it is structured. Writing a journal (i only completed it in the first days) is eye-opening. I will definitely do the 21 days from the beginning again. There is so much to learn and benefit from

I liked the authentic way how you spoke in the videos. I could feel, that you know what you are talking about because you have experienced and overcome it yourself. This makes you a reliable teacher for me. I felt very supported by being able to ask personal questions and getting detailed answers. I also liked the simplicity of the program. Naturally my mind craves more information, but I find that this causes only more thinking and keeps me from doing "the real work" of meditation. I am not free of anxiety after the program, but I feel different than in the beginning. I am much more calm and able to concentrate on what is important in the moment. I think this a good foundation to build on.

Thank you David for this program. It wasn't easy as there were several concepts I found difficult to get a hold of. But I took my time, spending 3 to 4 days with each new lesson and the effort has paid off. I now have a the habit of daily meditation and a new way of looking at myself and my thoughts. The meditations, as well as the mindfulness I try to carry into my day, help to keep me grounded. I still have a ways to go but I'm encouraged with the progress I've experienced.

This course really makes you face your anxiety, fear, and panic attacks. It’s like freedom. Also deals with letting to go of control and judgment. There is a different subject for each day. Truly, very well done and David is my favorite overall. You will really love this course, it’s excellent.

I was very engaged with this programme for a while and did the exercises every day, but sometimes took two days as I felt I needed more time. I also started - a little later -a local programme about CFS/ME that I had decided to do some time ago, but lockdown delayed things and it went onto Zoom, and the two went together well as we have to take regular resets for the latter, but rests that help us relax, What a good fit! I also later started a daily but short practice of QiGong and I think at one point I signed up for too much, and at a time when my energy levels really began to drop for 1 or two days a week. However, I let go of trying to do everything every day and now I have completed this programme. I think that 30 minutes is a bit long for me to meditate - I have had this happen before. Maybe this was the thing that made my progress slow down. I think I need to let go of having to complete everything every day, and accept that sometimes I can just do one or two things. It's the acceptance that helps with letting go of anxiety. Letting go of what I know I found can be both liberating but a challenge. I went travelling 24 years ago and this was a journey about myself. Some places & experiences were truly liberating, but others challenging, especially when I was in India. I came to the realisation that this programme is also a journey and day 21 made me remember that time when I travelled beyond my previous life experience. We are all on a journey and sometimes we need to be reminded of that. thank you for this journey - namaste

First time doing a program like this and I'm so glad I did. It's approachable, flexible, and David has been there to answer questions and respond to comments the whole time. I love that each day is so doable in terms of time and what the program asks of us. I especially liked that the written part of each day's 'lesson'/question was a complement to the video rather than just being a transcript of it. I liked that I could both read and watch the topic for that day without feeling like it was just a repeat. Sometimes the text below each video helped me understand the context before I watched the video. Sometimes, I read/reread the text after I watched the video as a reminder of what I needed to work on. It was also great to be able to navigate through the videos and go back to old ones to revisit a practice I felt I needed to hear/watch again or just to see how the program had progressed and therefore how I had progressed.

Nothing difficult, easy pace, but very powerful. I have a bag of tools now that will help me deal with anxiety as it it comes.

Some provocative questions to think about. I noticed some changes in my moods over the time. I would have liked to see links to different mediations each day. It was awkward to go out of the programme and re -login to DYWMe site to find meditations. I was also disappointed to discover that I wouldn't have continued access to the programme. I do find I need to repeat these exercises when I have a slump or another episode. But overall very helpful. Thank you.
