Why Most Online Yoga Courses Don’t Work (And How to Find One That Does)

In this episode, we explore a belief I hear often in the yoga world: “You can’t really learn yoga online.” And honestly, I understand where that idea comes from.

Many people invest in online trainings, watch a few modules, and then the course slowly disappears into the background of their lives. The information is there, but something important is missing: the connection, the guidance, the accountability that turns knowledge into embodied understanding.

Because watching videos alone does not make someone a yoga teacher. Practicing does. Teaching does. Being witnessed, receiving feedback, and having a mentor guide you through the learning process does.

At the same time, I’ve personally had incredibly positive experiences with online learning, from my prenatal yoga teacher training, to marketing education for yoga teachers, and currently an 875-hour yoga therapy program that is truly mind-blowing. These experiences showed me that online education can work when it is designed with the human element in mind.

In this video I share:

• why many online yoga courses don’t work
• busting the myth that online learning is ineffective
• what actually creates transformation in an online training
• and how I designed my online self-paced Trauma-Informed Yin Yoga Teacher Training differently

I also share about my upcoming live trainings in Thailand this April and June, which will be the final opportunities to join me in person before I take a maternity break.

If traveling isn’t possible, the online self-paced TTC remains available and includes mentoring, community, and guidance along the way.
