I don't know why these people don't like her. She was very helpful and nice to me. I took it as credit/no credit. The "final" was a pain in the butt

Comment:

You have to buy a textbook from her but you'll only use it for the final. She takes points off if you don't show up to class & the final is open book for the first half, but the second half is matching at least 15 poses to the sanskrit name. Basically, if you are expecting an easy, relaxing yoga class, don't take this one.

Comment:

Although this class is a challenge, it is very good for your body and she teaches it VERY well. She was helpful with teaching poses and finding the easiest way to work around your body. She is passionate about yoga and I think a lot of people get that confused with her being rude. She is very sweet.

Comment:

Not a fun class because teacher is rude. If you aren't dressed like you are into auras and holistic beliefs she is rude and unhelpful (No offense to people into those beliefs). I had to take the class twice to get a passing grade, and it's a 1 unit class. Made me not want to take yoga after.

Sweet lady, but I wouldn?t take this class for a grade. The final was extremely hard! I got a C in the class so upsetting!! I feel this class is way too difficult for a one unit class.I wouldn?t recommend this class personally.

Comment:

LOL to all the negative comments. This class is a challenge but by no means is it as big of a deal as everyone says. She can be a little snarky sometimes but she's hardly Satan. A very thorough and comprehensive class on yoga, a great workout and a very interesting woman. What more could you want?

Comment:

This lady does not show students what yoga is all about. All she cares is if you are doing the poses right. She yells at students every single class. She is very stuck up and rude. If you take yoga take it somewhere else. The final exam is ridiculous.

Comment:

My goodness!!! I abhor anything that has to do with this class. Yeah, I received my A and everything but it is an unpleasant class. The instructor definitely knows what she is doing but has unreasonable expectations of her students. My suggestion is to run, but if you insist on staying, attendance is mandatory and expect to be stressed out.

Comment:

Awsome Professor!! But she isn't easy. Miki expects you to have high attnendence, strong character & a willingness to learn new things.Don't expect easy, relaxing Yoga- she's going to whoop your butt into shape... she will be tough on you physically. Love the class, will be taking it for the 3rd time for fun & exercise. Final is very hard, buy book

Awful and unpleasant instructor.I wish I had read the comments before taking the class, but because I didn't I will have to take it over. Join me in waiting for a new instructor to take it with. Don't take yoga with her.

Comment:

I think she was a horrible yoga teacher. She's so rude and predictable. The final was hard because it was detailing every pose. There were like 50 poses you also have to identify so study the pictures in the book

Comment:

If I were you I would not be so naive as to believe the "positive" comments left on here, because it was probably written by the crazy woman herself. She is the worst professor I have ever taken at Cal-State Long Beach. This woman should be fired already for the sake of future students.

Comment:

This yoga class was horrible. I loved yoga when I started this class, but after taking this yoga class with this teacher....I'm never taking it at Long Beach ever again. Final is half scantron and half identifying poses that are in some weird sanscript or sanskirt language....whatever it is. I wasn't more flexible after taking the class.

Comment:

I WAS considering becoming a Yoga instructor as a side job, since I LOVE Yoga. She killed my passion. She does teach you the accurate forms of doing the poses, but she is so rigorous that instead of being relaxing is stressful. You have to take a ridiculous final for a one unit class. Don't waste your time. Please.

She was so mean to me the whole semester. I had a lot of disabilities and she forcefully bends your knee to make it straight. I thought yoga would have been fun, but do NOT take this class.

Comment:

a lot of people really have a problem with her, but i think that's just an ego problem. if you check your ego at the door like she instructs, actually practice a few minutes on your own time, and maybe opt to take the class as credit/no credit, not only will you pass, but you'll get a solid foundation in practicing correct asanas.

Comment:

She has a good body and I got really excited to take this class, hoping I would get some nice Madonna arms. I dropped after the first day of actual Yoga. She would get so mad and be yelling directions at us if we didn't do it right. One girl had a cough and she (very rudely) told her to go outside and get rid of it. She alienates yoga newcomers.
