There was a long thread with lots of testimonies against ICYAS that was on this board. For some reason it has been removed. If you are signing up for ICYAS and are worried, use your gut and walk away. For further information about complaints against them contact Yoga Alliance at 1-877-964-2255. Or look up www.yogaalliance.org and search Ten Body Yoga - you will find only one person registered with YA. And, YA does not even know who Yogi Akal is - Angad Kaur is the contact for ICYAS. Feel free to contact me at safeyoga@hotmail.com Also, note that this was the Akar Jantri International thread.

GO TO THE END OF THIS THREAD AND THERE IS A LINK TO THE ORIGINAL THREAD - IT WAS NOT LOST, BUT MOVED

I know why all the testimonies were removed from this board. It's very simple.

The plain truth about all those accusations was that they were GAY.

Plus, if you read this you are gay. And not happy gay, but savagely ass-pounding, poo-stabbing ass-piracy-to-the-extreme, poo-covered penis GAY GAY GAY.

As well as to you being GAY, anyone who reads this stuff is gay. You goddam fruits need to stop fucking butts and just have a few beers. But since you're such a penis-drooling butt-elf, you probably drink 3 O'Douls then get your sphincter fisted in an alley somewhere.

Your probably mad at these people you're posting about because they're full-on flaming gay in a way that you want to be but can't cos then your inbred family would fuck your butt with a fire extinguisher until you die.

Bye, FAG

Shoot, I'm sorry. My little brother got on my computer and wrote all that stupid stuff.
I didn't want to write on this board. What's it about amyway?
Oh wait, I know!

I't about being a whole buncha chocolate-starfish-stabbing, colon-mining, nostril-raping, skull-fucking, semen-guzling homersexual fuckbuckets.

That's YOU, SafeHOMO.

Hey, good try dumbass. So I guess when I said safehomo, I was signing off as that too? Nice one, you friggin fruitcake. I guess no one has ever said "bye asswipe" (or whatever your real name is? That was almost really clever on your part, but instead it's jsut fuckin' dumb!

Also you call me a loser but I see you starting all these new threads that no one else writes about or cares about. Get a life, numbnuts.

You had a comma in between "bye" and "FAG", meaning you signed off as "FAG". And, there was a huge thread that was wiped out for some reason. Regardless, I am much smarter than you; so do not even try.

Hey guess what honeypenis? You can't tell me how I signed off. I know what I mean, and you're just trying to insult me. Did you notice that I havent signed off any of my posts so far? The last word was FAG and it was at you. so stop trying to say I'm insulting myself. It's a dumb argument. And yeah yeah, there was a huge thread. Where? Doesnt look like anyone cares. And even though you're smarter than me, I can tell you that in your last message you used ; wrong. Good try, smart guy!

I guess that means I signed off as smart guy. Oops!

Or did I sign off as oops that time?

Oh no! Maybe I just signed off as time there?

Oh no! Did I just sign off as there?

You are stupid.

The ";" was used correctly. Grammar says you signed off as "FAG". Enjoy your ignorance.

Sure, call me ignorant. That's okay with me. Most people are ignorant of something and it can be fixed. You are just stupid though, and there's no cure for that. The ; was wrong, and just putting FAG after a comma doesnt mean I signed off that way. Where exactly is that grammar rule? Can you show me, or will you just keep saying your right? You probably will but whatever. Your so smart, you just know everything dont you? I can tell you're smart because you spend your precious time writing threads no one cares about and arguing about bullshit with people who you think are dumb. Yeah, that's what real smart people do.

The ";" was not wrong, because it can be used as a conjunction, like "but" or "and". Your reply is ironic, considering you are doing the same thing. However, this conversation is now done, because this thread is meant for people who have had problems with ICYAS (regardless of what you know - there are many). I suspect you are the same sad person who was replying on the thread that was wiped out. I think your name was Dantes?

Yeah, better stop our conversation so that ALL THOSE people who are talking about this can post. Wow, people really do care about your rants. Geez, look at all those other posts! Since you started this board a month ago, you've got a GRAND TOTAL OF NO REPLIES except me.
3 more reasons you're dumb..............

I didn't use a ;

My name is what is says on my posts. If someone else was giving you shit, its because you're an idiot not some conspiracy to make fun of you with a bunch of different names.

You call me sad but your starting all these gay posts that no ones gives two shits about. GET A LIFE LOSER!!!!! If people cared, they'd probably post stuff here.

That brings me back to my first post: yOUR A PATHETIC FAG. Do everyone a favor so we can pee on your grave you sadass bitch.

ICYAS has been given its own file because there are so many complaints etc. Search "Yogi Akal" on MSN search engine or click here http://www.factnet.org/discus/messages/3/339.html?1121347574 for anyone wanting more information.

Hey, by the way, that was a good response.

(Your response translated): "Hmmm, I cant really respond to what you said, so Im just gonna try to look really clever by writing 'brilliant!,' a response that actually means nothing at all, but I've got so much stake in trying to appear really smart that I cant not respond. Hopefully if I just write 'brilliant!,' it will make me seem smarter than this other guy, even though I'm not."

So I just went on the ICYAS website to see what scam they are trying to pull now and this was the lastest thing I noticed. At the top of the main webpage it states, "In our dynamic, interactive campus located in Toronto...". Then look at their address "322 1/2 Bloor Street West". I can tell you their "campus" is a third floor, medium to small, office space. This is extremely misleading, and it would not be a big deal except I know of people who have travelled across the world to come to ICYAS' "campus" only to be shocked, scammed, and disappointed.
Oh, and deliciously_suspicious (just your name gives me the creeps), are you drunk when you write these things or are you just stupid? I notice you go around making random comments on other peoples threads as well. You are a very sad individual.

WARNING: "The International Centre For Yogic Arts and Sciences" has now changed their name to "The Institute of Yoga Therapy & Yoga Teacher Training". They are the same place!!! They've moved and changed their name, but they are the same group of con artists. This is very common with these types of dishonest organizations.

Agia Akal Singh Khalsa is now finally registered with Yoga Alliance. And, now no one is officially listed on the Yoga Alliance website as the contact for IYT (ICYAS). I just wanted to post this so people would not think I was trying to mislead them. I know some will disagree, but all I say is: do your own investigation and make your own decision.

Hi everyone,

I'm writing an article about some of the sketchier aspects of the yoga industry in Toronto and I'm on here to ask if anyone who's had some negative experiences at a school here would be willing to talk to me.

It's basically about how there is no strong regulatory body in Canada, so unlicensed teachers are sprouting up, which can be dangerous and fraudulent.

This is for a new magazine about the business of culture in Toronto. Our first issue is due out in December, both in print and online (www.kapitalmag.ca).


Anyone willing to help?

If so, please email me at: steve@kapitalmag.ca

Thanks!

This article is strictly my opinion on Yogi Akal and The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine, the article reflects both what has happened to me, stories I have heard that has happened to others and mostly words that Yogi Akal and other staff has told me directly who work for The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine.

Dear unsuspecting potential students of The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine, Akar Jantri International, Yogavision and the International Center for Yoga Arts and Science.

One has to wonder why there are so many names for one little school ???

*****BEWARE*****

I am an EX-EMPLOYEE of The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine and Yogi Akal and I must say that I have to date not been paid by YOGI AKAL and The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine. There is myself and many others that are owed money too.

In my opinion there is a large unethical trend that has plagued The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine and I should hope that none of you that read this actually consider spending your money at this organization. The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine

Don’t believe what anyone at The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine have to say, I am an insider telling you what I have heard and experienced.

Staff, including myself, as I was a salesperson who was earning both a salary and a commission on every person who signed up, was told that The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine has facilities to find people jobs after their training, the fact is that this information is not correct because Yogi Akal is trying to take The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine to the next level and his intention is to someday have this structure in place, but at the moment there is no structure, in fact he had relied on me, a salesman, to design the model on how the admissions department should run and very quickly made me the Chief Admissions officer, that is when I realized that in my opinion this school is going no where. Had I have told anyone information to elude to the fact that they would receive training and then a job or any type of post support for a job then I must apologize as I was mislead by the executive staff in believing that there was such structures in place. But I soon found out that there was not and that it was merely an intention.

Any information that you may receive in my opinion are merely intentions of The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine and I urge you to request proof that these statements and promises are indeed in place before you part with your money to the school of yoga therapy and natural medicine.

This is on of the reasons that I left Yogi Akal and The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine.

While I was at The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine I had heard horror stories of students who pay their tuition and are then never to see their funds again when a program changes, Yogi Akal has specifically told me that he would not consider paying people back. He says why should he refund money, "This is a school and if they don’t like the course then they should not have applied" or “There have been students who are not satisfied and then they want their money back, I am not in the business of giving refunds” there is always an excuse or reason not to refund money. This is another one of the reasons I left The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine and Yogi Akal.

Caveat Emptor.

Although this site may have disgruntled ex students, I am not one. I have worked for Yogi Akal and The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine and they owe me only $600 and change, (so far). Yogi Akal and The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine will have to eventually pay me because of the wonderful employment standards and laws that protect employees from employers such as Yogi Akal and The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine.

So take note, this is a real story of how The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine who in my opinion is an unethical creation designed to take your money and cause financial grief.

If you are a an ex student or employee who is having difficulties then please write to Yoga Alliance and the American Association of Drugless Practitioners as The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine has to reapply for registration in the next two months and the more complaints they receive the less chance there is of the school receiving registered status.

I am currently seeking all those that have a grievance with the The School of Yoga Therapy and Natural Medicine or Yogi Akal to contact me as I am seeking to start a class action law suit against these questionable characters who may have once wanted to do some good, but in my opinion became the victim of their own greed through the efforts of large dreams.

Yogi is about to go under. Get your money while the getting is good. He doesn't pay instructors, has signed up only a couple students in the last couple months and hasn't been able to hire in months.

The ship is sinking.
