Where Do I Start?
We recommend starting with the foundational courses. However, coursework can be completed in any order as long the required prerequisites for each individual course are satisfied. The Integrative Intensives must be completed in the following order:
- Foundational
- Mental health and Trauma
- Chronic/ Lifestyle Disease
The required coursework for each module must be completed before beginning the intensives. YogaFit’s coursework is open to anyone who is interested in taking the course as long as they have the required prerequisites for that course. The Integrative Intensives are only open to enrolled yoga therapy students and are on rolling admissions. Since classes have specific prerequisites, students must have foundational knowledge to take a course. The YogaFit Healthcare Yoga Therapy curriculum pacing, and material covered is designed for the dedicated Yoga Therapy student and the faculty member teaches to that level. Students who wish to study in the program need to fulfill their prerequisites before taking a desired course.
Course Venue
YogaFit Healthcare is a student-centered yoga therapy program offered in a way that is accessible to those desiring to study and continue with their lives and responsibilities. Courses are delivered in both residential and distance learning capacities. The residential courses are in a variety of locations around the country. Courses and intensives are held within the YogaFit Mind Body Fitness Conferences (five-day immersive experiences), which are scheduled several times each year in different cities to accommodate students living in a number of regions. These are scheduled 8-12 months in advance so students can plan ahead. At each event, several yoga therapy courses are available. Students can connect with their own cohort and overlap with other classes. These community-focused events also offer opportunities for cohorts to collaborate and to meet with mentors and other yoga therapy faculty. Some of the locations change each year and some we have been holding in those locations for several years. We offer courses in a strategic manner on the west coast, east coast and the central part of the country in staying with our value of being a student-centered company.
Tuition and Fees/ Exchange of Services
YogaFit Healthcare charges students in a pay as you go format. Students pay for the individual courses and intensives as they take them. Please see the student handbook for the complete schedule of fees for YogaFit Healthcare program. Travel and lodging are not included in the schedule of fees and are the full responsibility of the student.
Mentorship
Upon successful completion of application and admission into the program, each student will be assigned a mentor. The mentor (a faculty member) will act as a guide and primary contact throughout the duration of the program. The mentor will maintain regular contact with the student, and the student will be expected to maintain contact with the assigned mentor.
We Believe:
- Yoga therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the teachings and practices of yoga.
- Yoga therapy is an ancient healing art that is reinforced by modern biomedical peer-reviewed research and evidence-informed practices.
- Students are the focus of what we do and why we exist.
- An open-minded approach, drawing from multiple lineages, ensures that our students are equipped to understand a variety of applications of the tools and techniques found in the yoga tradition.
- A foundational belief in yoga for all bodies gives students the skill sets to work with a wide range of people from diverse backgrounds.
- Healing comes from turning inward and the education of the yoga therapist must include self-reflection and evaluation, as well extensive training in the science and practical application of ancient yogic and Ayurvedic teachings.
- Diversity enriches the human experience.
- The therapeutic relationship between the client/student and the therapist is important to set the stage for healing and transformation.
- The YogaFit Essence guides and informs all of our teachings:
- Breathing, feeling, listening to the body.
- Letting go of expectations, judgments, and competition.
- Staying in the present moment
- In providing a structure that allows students to move through the program at a pace that encourages integration and in-depth understanding of concepts and tools while maintaining a healthy balance in their personal life.

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!
