Level 1 Community Service Hours
Congratulations on finishing the first 18 hours of our YogaFit Teacher Training program! In order to complete the YogaFit Teacher Training Program, each trainee must perform eight (8) hours of practice teaching. That’s 8 hours of teaching, utilizing YogaFit Level I Teacher Training skills, to a group of people who normally do not have the opportunity to experience the benefits of yoga. YogaFit Trainees have taught people from all walks of life. This Community Service Program gives us the opportunity to hone our teaching skills in a casual environment, while giving the gift of yoga to an appreciative group. It is truly a win-win situation for all involved and a benefit for our communities. Once you have completed your Community Service, please complete the following: • A Personal Letter outlining your community service experience, including specific dates and location of where classes were taught • A Verification Letter verifying the 8 hours taught, including specific dates. Letter must be signed by the facility/location where classes were taught or by the class participants You will submit your personal letter and verification letter as part of the final module of the program
