    I took a 300 hour (200 + 100 hours) Yoga Teacher Training with Evolution Trainings owned by ******************************* beginning in 2021 and ending in 2022. ******************************* acted as the lead facilitator of the training as well as the owner of ***************. I paid a total of ******** via check and attended this training via *********** Yoga Studio in ******, ** owned by ***************************, who acted as a middle man facilitator of the training, which I and other students were accessing via Zoom while ******** was hosting it in her main base in ********. In the interest meeting prior to the training, ******** came to **************** in person and stated that on completion of this training I would be able to register with Yoga Alliance as a 500 hour Registered Yoga Teacher. Partway through the training, Yoga Alliance released a statement surrounding the use of the word "therapy" and I emailed ******** to confirm that I would be eligible as a 500hr *** through Yoga Alliance upon graduation, which she "guarantee"d in her email response. After I graduated from the program in October 2022, I repeatedly reached out to ******** via phone and email asking for updates on Yoga Alliance registration, to which she replied that she would make sure I could register. Recently her story has changed and she will not uphold this guarantee, instead offering me a falsified/backdated certificate of completion. This is a dishonest way to attempt to provide Yoga Alliance eligibility, so I do not feel it upholds her guarantee. To clarify, Yoga Alliance does not recognize "Certified Yoga Teachers;" YA and the *** status is considered the industry standard. I asked ******** for a refund for the trainings, and she is attempting to shift the responsibility for her guarantee to ***************************, who is to my knowledge no longer cooperating/ working with with Evolution Trainings. I believe ******** is responsible for backing up her own guarantee for her own yoga school's trainings, and should issue this refund.
