101: Level 1 Orientation

Clear and concise. Loved the positive engagement. Very welcoming!

Wow!

I've been searching for a very long time, for a course to follow for fun and knowledge.... this has me so excited to deepen my yoga journey.

nice experience

Catchy and to the point

Catchy and to the point orientation. Nice mix of video and reading part. Rachel's enthusiasm is sparkling through the screen and David keeps everything grounded ...

I feel ready

Once the videos started, questions I had while clicking through the initial course documents were answered, I believe - like, do I need to download Thinkific (I think it's just what you use for the platform and already working?) and when is level 3 (it is not scheduled yet, you do a poll...). I really liked the walk through of how to click through each lesson, what pages change and what stays the same course to course, etc. Very clear

best experience with this course

I finished 101: Level Orientation

I worked on Welcome and Course Orientation

Excellent orientation and very informative.

Dear Rachel and David, the orientation is excellent and very informative. It gently pushed me over the edge of indecision and plunged me into your course. I am truly looking forward to this journey with you and the July Cohort. Truly grateful for this opportunity, Sara

nice experience

Great!

I've been thinking of and researching YTT for 10 years plus and I've finally found one that works! Time-wise, money-wise and study-method-wise. Thank you!

Very good

All the most important information is delivered in a fun and well organized way.

Excellent Orientation

I love how the orientation covered both the content of the course as well as guidance regarding how to use the technology of the online learning platform. Having the videos paired with the written content was really effective.

Energy and Enthusiasm are Delightful

Having an overview and idea of what to expect from the program provides clear information to help in the decision making process. Any training or commitment to something that could turn into a lifestyle change is best done with the all of the information easily and freely provided upfront. Rachel and David do a great job clearly describing each step of the program and ways to make it work best for you personal life and goals. The enthusiasm and energy they present about an obvious passion shows me that they truly are desiring what is best for each potential student. Thanks for offering the orientation to help make such a big decision less stressful!

Level 1 - Doubt Eradication!

I have been utilizing DoYogaWithMe for many years and recently started to consider becoming an instructor. I really couldn't decide if an online course like this would work for me as far as keeping me accountable and engaged enough to stay committed. Also, my first option if I decided to take the course was to opt for the self paced version. Well.......my doubts and version option were totally eradicated after going through all the information in Level 1. This course is perfect for me and I will be utilizing the Co-Hort version of learning. The information was superbly presented and I am signing up! Thank you. Debbie

New age of training

Took the orientation to help me decide whether I should sign up for online training. I am so fortunate to still have a full time job, teleworking from home, so I sit in front of a computer and/or phone 100% of my work time. This training will be more of that, but it is also the only way I can do yoga training at this time ... I think that in person training is preferable to online learning. That said, I think you are doing as good a job as can be done using internet technologies. I like the mixture of video and readings - I do hope that would be intermixed with worksheets for anatomy, for example, later on. I am not sure how you could increase interaction between an entire cohort .... considering time zones and peoples schedules, but that is obviously the largest disadvantage of distance learning. In summary - 5 stars for bringing yoga training to those who cannot spend multiple weekends or an entire month to go to a physical training. 5 stars for having this available in an era of covid-19. Also, I have been able to do the orientation entirely on my iPad - I think that‘s a plus for easy acess!

So explanatory!

Found the answers to all my questions. It gives so much clarity and structure as to what to expect and how to proceed. I'm a firm supporter of online education because I'm easily distracted in a physical class environment and can miss important details. I learn best when I study solo and at my own pace. And knowing that I can always go over my learnings is so comforting. Repetition is a key in learning anything :) It's good to have a Cohort option available too to stay on track! The assessment is an essential part of the learning process which is usually overlooked, but here I see that it is carefully integrated in every single module. As an educator myself, I can already feel how intelligently and well-thought this one is designed to improve the student experience. It made me sure I'm in the right place. I'm truly thankful for what Rachel and David have built that is made accessible for everyone around the world. I love when technology serves humanity in innovative ways. Can't wait to dive deeper into the immense world of yoga :)

Well paced, thorough and great beginning

I just finished the 101: Level 1 Orientation and felt so happy to have selected DYWM for my training. The orientation set up the expectations for students and faculty so we can fulfill our responsibilities to ourselves and each other in a trustworthy way. Clarity is such a key component of trusting relationships and good learning. You have provided both. It gives me hope that your course will apply these rigorous standards throughout the course. I look forward to the rest. (I do wish the Google Docs were named so they downloaded in chronological order.)

Clear and light

It's very hard to give a format to the necessary initial requirements of any course that is informational and at the same time, pleasing and not just boring. This introduction is simultaneously entertaining and to the point.

Great orientation

Many thanks! This was informative and it appears that the program is laid out in a very straightforward way. I like the platform you use, as well.

Very Impressed

The 101: Level 1 Orientation took me about 45 minutes to complete, and there was so much useful information packed into it. Rachel and David break down everything for you, and you can even look at a weekly/course breakdown of everything you'll be going over in the syllabus. As someone considering a YTT to deepen my practice, this orientation has given me the most free information and value so far and I'm now seriously considering giving it a go.

Orientation

This was a clear and comprehensive outline of the online YTT and I am impressed by the level of support, materials and resources offered! It’s definitely something I’m considering for the future.

Excellent and comprehensive overview

I was very impressed by this orientation course which was comprehensive, clear and engaging. I immediately signed up to the Level 1 & 2 cohort package and am now feeling super excited about getting started!

The title is clear and self-explanatory

The text was well organized, easy to read, and well written

good

Very helpful and informative

I now have a clear picture of how the training is structured and how to be successful in the course.

101: Level 1 Orientation

Great and Thorough Course!

I found Level 1 Orientation to be a more-than-thorough series of informal videos and detailed information about each topic. Easy to follow yet really a ton of data here! One point would be to have a more though explanation of when the texts (such as Patanjali's Sutras)will be used...and what for, exactly. Helps us decide when and whether we want to buy them.

Pretty explanatory

I am not sure if I can use the program as additional training being that I am already certified as a 200hr RYT.

Great job!

Thank you for this very informative orientation, and for making it free!!

Orientation
