Welcome to your first steps in becoming a certified yoga teacher!

The first step on the path toward becoming a yoga teacher or simply deepening your practice, YogaFit Teacher Training (YTT) Foundations (Level One) is accepted by most fitness centers because it provides the foundation and tools to create inspiring vinyasa yoga classes grounded in proper alignment and the safety of exercise science. 

While there are no prerequisites for this course, we do require that all attendees read Beth Shaw’s YogaFit prior to attending. This book explains the foundation of our entire teacher training program, and allows for better overall understanding of the material covered in our YTT Foundations (Level One) Training. Please email edu@yogafit.com with any questions about YTT Foundations (Level One)! We look forward to seeing you on the mat. 

We are also offering YTT Foundations (Level One) virtually, with live trainings via zoom.  Please click here for the schedule of Virtual YTT Foundations (Level One) Trainings.

Note: In order to receive a Certificate of Completion for YTT Foundations (Level One), you must also complete eight hours of practice teaching as a community service, in which you bring the gift of yoga, free of charge, to individuals who would not normally be exposed to yoga on a regular basis.

Upon completion of the YTT Foundations (Level One) training and Community Service hours, click here for instructions regarding obtaining your certificate. 

You have one year from the date of your YTT Foundations (Level One) Training to complete Community Service and apply for your YTT Foundations (Level One) Certificate. We do understand that sometimes life events interfere with our plans. Please email certs@yogafit.com if you find that you may need an extension for completion.

YogaFit YogaBarre

YogaFit YogaBarre is a fun and functional way to create a balanced body, mind and spirit. Utilizing principles of yoga, ballet barre, pilates, strength training and dance allows for a complete integration of fitness modalities for well-being. We utilize a barre or chair to provide stability, balance, and support as we move through exercises that target the core, glutes, arms, and legs. The major benefits are improved posture, muscle definition, weight loss, increased mobility, and reduced stress.The YogaFit Yoga Barre program helps individuals to become stronger and feel better as they perform their everyday activities. The program is based not only on muscle balancing, but also on balancing the common postural and movement patterns we create in our daily lives.

The average American adult spends at least 6.5 hours sitting every day and the number is higher for teenagers, according to the Washington Post (The Big Number: The average U.S. adult sits 6.5 hours a day. For teens, it’s even more. Linda Searing April 28, 2019). This means many Americans are moving through their day with forward head posture, rounded shoulders, a lack of natural curves in the spine and a chronically tight front line. YogaFit Yoga Barre can provide individuals with a movement practice they will enjoy at the time and for years to come. YogaFit Yoga Barre is also one of the fastest, most effective ways to burn calories and get toned. Your students will love the functionality, fitness and fun they will experience every time they show up on their mat!

***Virtual Trainings will receive a digital manual only.
