I registered. There are two other modules in addition to Erin's. There is an additional charge for them. One is $39 and the other is $49. I need to play around, but it looks like nothing has been added. Here's hoping for new additions.

I got in on this with the Kickstarter but was disappointed when the site went online. Played around with it for a while but haven't jumped on since summer. I'll have to check it out. I got the email too, but haven't had time to do more than skim it.

Ditto. I haven't even explored the site much but what I did see wasn't very impressive. No time to do anything to set up an account with the new site. I wasted my money because of FOMO (fear of missing out)

I to felt like I wasted money due to FOMO. I like Erin's free stuff on YouTube but MY Yoga Pro left me unimpressed. I haven't got an email yet.

Same here, I did get the email yesterday but there is nothing new added. There is a charge for the added instructor courses. Very disappointed from the beginning.

Ug, I bought lifetime for two people and have never used it! I did not get the mail -- I'm skeptical that I could use it even if I tried at this point...... what a waste of money.

I feel bad for you. I followed this Erin Motz (no financial outlays on my part tho') via a blogger and my former blogsite characterized by gamification an Erin Motz would envy (but where they were desperate people (regardless of age) and many in favor of jumping on fads and bandwagons) and was impressed only by her energy. Not her content so much. The only bright spot is that (for a fee) she would not be the only one teaching, by this account.

Why don't you bite the bullet, regard this "investment" as a sunk cost, and try out Yoga.com. I'd got personal recommendations from them so far, for what it's worth.

Too many yoga hucksters online these days. It's a blessing in disguise I never had much streaming speed.

[hotncmom]

I don't regard her as a huckster. I downloaded all of her 30 Day Challenge content, plus some bonus practices, and love using them. So I consider the $65 Kickstarter fee for MYP as compensation in kind.

I'll go on a small rant about how with Youtube and the internet in general, people seem to want and expect instructors (who are business owners) to continually give free content, and only about 1% of their followers will ever buy anything from them, and if they do, it is often a low-end product. I think people deserve to get paid for what they do well, and instructors like Erin Motz, Jessica Smith, etc. are probably lucky if they can scrape out a decent living. Trust me, they are not getting rich and they keep giving away free content. It's a lot of work to conceive, film, edit, upload, and promote these types of challenges, and they are professionally filmed and edited in a nice setting vs. someone filming themselves working out with their webcam in their ugly living room.

Whereas the Dreambody team (for instance) to my knowledge has never ever given away one single iota and want to charge premium prices for their content, but no one is complaining about that.

Yes, MYP was not as fleshed out as expected. I expected more full-length practices. I expected multiple levels of each course. I expected new content to be added over time. It wasn't delivered.

But I'm not going to begrudge paying $65 to a person who has given so much good, free content for less than the cost of one private yoga session.

Imho, requesting donations, having a time-limited paywall, hawking higher-end workshops incessantly on their free-content portals, would have been a more upfront way to have gone about "supporting their 'free' content" ...

For my part, I paid a discounted price for totally to offline downloads to my slow-streaming computer, same difference.

But I feel better about all that, because I have full license to full-length content. And that was before that site abandoned downloads in favor of "we adjust to your speed" (oh, really?!? Try my slow speed) streamings ... whereupon I would not bite!

Hi Tina
Can you tell me more about Yoga.com. I am looking at but can't really tell exactly the kind of classes it offers.
Thanks
