Request for Alumni Input: Yoga Teaching Experience and Wellness Survey

Dear ,

We hope this email finds you in good health and high spirits. As an esteemed graduate of our school, you have played an integral role in shaping our yoga community, and your continued support and involvement are deeply valued.

We are reaching out to you today with a special request to participate in a survey aimed at gathering valuable insights into current yoga teaching trends and the experiences of our esteemed alumni. Your input will help us better understand the challenges faced by yoga teachers, the impact of their training, and the overall well-being of our graduates.

Before we proceed, we want to ensure that your privacy and preferences are respected. If you would prefer not to be contacted in the future or participate in this survey, you can click on the "Unsubscribe" button located at the bottom of this email. Your name will be promptly removed from our contact list, and you will not receive any further communication.

For those who choose to participate and grant us permission to contact them, no action is needed. Your name will remain on our list of contacts, we will send out the survey in the next two weeks and we appreciate your willingness to share your valuable insights.

In addition to the survey, we are excited to announce that we will be offering a refresher course for alumni who are interested in furthering their study and re-integrating into the yoga community. This course aims to provide an opportunity to reconnect with fellow graduates, deepen your knowledge, and strengthen your teaching skills. Further details will be shared in the coming weeks, and we hope you consider taking part in this enriching experience.

The survey will cover the following aspects:

1. Current Teaching Status: We would like to know if you are currently teaching yoga and, if not, the reasons behind your decision.
2. Obstacles to Teaching: We are interested in understanding any challenges or barriers that prevented you from pursuing or continuing your teaching journey.
3. Interest in Teaching: Please let us know if you still have an interest in teaching yoga or if your aspirations have evolved in different directions.
4. Teacher Training Experience: We would like to gather feedback on the adequacy of your training and whether you felt equipped with the necessary tools to teach effectively.
5. Personal Well-being: Finally, we are curious to know if your involvement with yoga, including your training experience, has positively impacted your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Your honest and candid responses will enable us to assess the effectiveness of our programs, identify areas for improvement, and cater to the evolving needs of our post-pandemic alumni community. By sharing your thoughts, you will be contributing to the growth and development of future yoga teachers.

We understand that there may have been concerns regarding the leadership of our organization in the past. We want to assure you that over the past three years, we have made significant efforts to address these issues and rebuild trust within our community. Your support in providing any information is greatly appreciated, and it will help us continue our commitment to transparency, growth, and improvement. Please reach out to Christina McCarvill if you have questions.

Thank you in advance for your time and willingness to contribute. If you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Wishing you continued success on your personal and professional journey.

Warm regards,

Andrew Fredericks
