Bhawna C Yes, you can attend this if you have access to the group class platform. It’s available during your 3-day trial period as well.

Jyoti I understand why you are asking this, and I wish I had a different answer. Bringing Mansi back is not something we are able to do. This decision was final and carefully considered.

We want our group classes to be engaging for long term members like you, but also welcoming for new students joining that group class for the first time. We have done well on engagement for long term members. But we know we can do better at welcoming new students, and this is something we are actively working on across the platform. We periodically review our group classes against a set of criteria including student experience, consistency, and discipline. This decision was part of that effort.

I have reached out to you directly to make sure we find the right path forward for you.

Jyoti Sorry for the confusion! For now, the teacher has availability only at 5 30 PM. But we will be adding more Iyengar yoga slots in the coming days, and I hope that will work with your timings.

Bonnie just go to app store or play store on your phone and press " update" x

How do I update it?

Shubhangi Thank you Shubhangi, I’ve updated X

Hi Bonnie,

Thanks for flagging this too! Yours looks a bit different from Angela’s — being on iOS and having to log back in points more to a sign-in hiccup than the Android bug we just fixed, so I don’t want to say it’s sorted on your end yet.

Could you update to the latest version from the App Store to start with? And if it happens again after that, tell me roughly when + your iOS version and I’ll trace it.

Angela Hi Angela,

Thank you for staying on this and for the detail each time — it genuinely helped us track it down. You were right, it was a real bug

Good news — it’s fixed, and the fix is now live in the latest version on the Play Store / App Store. Could you update the app? Once you’re on the new version (4.0.6.2) you shouldn’t hit the black screen again — and no more reinstalling.

I’ll be honest, this one took longer than I’d have liked to get out — it needed a full app update rather than a quick over-the-air fix, so thank you for bearing with us in the meantime. If it happens even once more after updating, tell me straight away.

Really appreciate you, Angela
Shubhangi

I used to take her class( thanks to Lan, she is the one who introduced me to Iyengar Yoga)

What why can’t we get Mansi back, just for 3 days at least.

You are right Pinane, different Iyengar teachers have different styles.
As I said in my earlier comment, ( talking about something completely different ,) it’s all very subjective.
My preference was Pranjal’s style, because her classes always progressed so methodically with a logical reason, a clear aim and a and potential benefit behind every single exercise, however simple. Her instructions were extremely detailed and precise without ever repeating herself unnecessarily, and she held the pose probably longer than most teachers, often repeating that same pose with further instructions to enable the students to correct their mistakes. For that reason, her classes were slow paced and did not cover a large number of asanas, which for some people could become tedious. Though not for everyone, this is the type of Iyengar class I prefer, because I observed how beneficial it was for strengthening, particularly my arthritic hip.

I have taken Iyengar Yoga with different teachers and despite all their different methods of teaching, I think they are all great at what they do. I guess every teacher has different styles of teaching. With that being said, I like Arpita’s classes both relief for back pain and Iyengar. Unfortunately I can not take her classes because school takes up most of my time. Thank you.

Perfect for anyone interested in better nasal breathing, pranayama, and traditional yogic practices.

It’s all subjective of course. New teachers will join, some students will like them, some won’t. If a teacher is charismatic with great interpersonal skills, I have noticed that this seems to be enough to make them popular for many students. Which is fine, because different people want different things from the platform.

However, if a teacher’s skills are outstanding and a student has stuck with them for years, reaping the benefits of their class, for that student, that teacher is irreplaceable and whoever comes along later to take the class will disappoint.

Angela Last year was a difficult period for our teacher community, and I know some of those changes hurt. What I can tell you is that we make every decision after considering its impact on both teachers and students.

Building a strong teacher community is something we work on every single day. Over the last year, we have made significant investments in bringing exceptional teachers to the platform, each with their own depth of experience, expertise, and genuine passion for what they do. We are proud of the community we are building.

We regularly introduce new teachers to our community. Some of our newest teachers have quickly become favorites among students. You can check out our teacher introductions here

Jyoti said:

Extremely disappointed. They replaced a great teacher with zero regard for loyal students.I am incredibly frustrated with MyYogaTeacher. They suddenly removed an amazing instructor whom many of us had been practicing with regularly for 2–3 years. This change was made without any warning, student polls, or feedback requests. Despite multiple students repeatedly begging for this teacher’s return, customer service flatly denied us.The substitute they hired is completely unengaged. She has zero interest in the students, never corrects anyone’s posture, and just goes through the motions. Even with only 6–7 students in class, she provides no feedback—you could sit there doing nothing, and she wouldn’t even care to notice. It feels like a cheap cost-cutting move.I tried to adapt and gave this new instructor months to work out, but the quality is just not there. When I finally reached out to customer service to explain the situation, I was told straight away that nothing could be done. I already paid for a yearly membership and now feel completely trapped paying for a subpar experience.

HI Jyoti - Thank you for sharing your feedback. I can see how strong and personal your connection with Mansi is. That kind of relationship between a student and a teacher is rare, and I completely understand why this change has been hard for you, especially when you have been with us for close to three years and have shown up so consistently.

Changing the teacher in this case was not a sudden decision and it was certainly not driven by cost. This was a process that played out over several months before we made the call. The teacher who took over this class has been with our platform for four years, which reflects the kind of experience and continuity we want for our students.

We do not want you to feel stuck or unheard. Your three year journey with us matters a lot. I will reach out to you directly to make sure we find the right class for you, one that feels more connected and suits your schedule and preferences.

Jyoti ah ok I see !
