YogaFit® For Personal Trainers - Yoga Teacher Training

This program was developed to help personal trainers incorporate yoga into their one-on-one sessions. Trainers can use yoga postures as their primary training method, or just incorporate it into the beginning and/or end of their weight training session. Finally, and not to be underestimated, Trainers can incorporate YogaFit's Transformational Language into the work with their clients to encourage and motivate clients through positive/affirmative language that incorporates awareness and process orientation.

During this training, you will learn:

1. Foundational alignment principles (SPA) for yoga drawn from exercise science for safety, while preserving the effectiveness and traditional form of the poses.


2. Precise alignment for the most effective and widely-used 38 basic postures of yoga.


3. Transformational Language for motivation and mind/body awareness


4. To assess your client's need for postures based on range of motion (ROM), postural assessment, and muscle balance, using a technique we call Asana Practice Screen (APS).


5. how you might incorporate foundational standing poses/asanas as a base strength stance for the legs, while using weights for the upper body, for a combination training method that is highly effective (Warrior 1 stance with bicep curls).


6. YogaFit Essence to create a mindbody experience, reduce stress, promote relaxation, and RETAIN CLIENTS because they feel great!


7. The importance of breath and relaxation for stress reduction for overall health, and how to incorporate breath effectively into your sessions.
