Your work should be transformational for your yoga students AND FOR YOU
80 million people say they are interested in starting yoga. However, when trying to get started, the vast majority, well, just can’t.
The way yoga currently is being taught, only the fit, young, and able-bodied need apply.
So the question is: What is the MOST effective way to teach every body how to enjoy the many health benefits of yoga—without triggering a pretzel panic attack? And, how can you ensure that they come back, again and again?
The key lies not just in what you teach, but how you teach!
Drop-in, mixed level classes are pretty much a formula for failure for anyone who isn't already fit and/or doesn't have a 'yoga body'.
To set students up for success, you need to teach in a format that enables YOU to address their individual needs, and enables THEM to progress systematically and steadily.
Towards Yoga 2.0: Co-Creating the Future of Yoga
Most likely, you practice yoga because you have experienced the immense benefits yoga has to offer. Yoga literally, is one way we can change the body to change the mind: By learning to work more consciously with the body, the fascia and our nervous system in yoga, we can greatly enhance the benefits of our own practice and our benefits to our students.
The world greatly needs skilled, experienced yoga teachers. With the COVID pandemic showing little signs of slowing down, this is more the case than ever.
Thousands of yoga teachers are already offering their services online. But to build a successful teaching practice online both during and after the pandemic, you have to niche down, i.e. you have to offer something that few other teachers are offering. This is what you will learn in the Yoga Wellness Educator course.

Become a Yoga 2.0 Wellness Educator and Learn How to Empower Others with Skills for Self-Healing & Self Care
You didn't become a yoga teacher to spend your days running from class to class, never knowing how many students will show up, and worrying about whether or not you will even cover your expenses at the end of the month.
Nor did you think that sustaining a successful yoga teaching practice would mean working crazy hours and barely having enough time for your own practice and to rest and recharge.
And you sure as heck didn’t go through years of training just to see your profession almost vanish overnight with the advent of the COVID pandemic.

Here is the truth about creating a sustainable, successful yoga teaching practice:
The work of every yoga teacher is needed. Your work is so powerful. There is only one of you and you are SO needed on this planet.
But here is the thing: Most yoga teachers are using an outdated formula for teaching: Mixed level drop-in classes. With this format, you never know who will show up, and if you will be able to pay your bills at the end of the month.
You have a unique opportunity. Visionary teachers are stepping out of the outdated pattern of teaching yoga that is holding everyone else back.
They are adapting a sustainable and implementable approach that reaches a much wider range of students and taps into markets for yoga hardly anyone is covering.
They are at the forefront of implementing new research findings into the fascia - the connective tissue of the body - which are literally transforming our understanding of how the body functions and what it takes to stay healthy and retain full functionality throughout life.
They are benefitting from learning new approaches to teaching that creates continuity, keeps students coming back, and importantly, meets the needs of students on a whole new level.
IMAGINE A WORLD WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY AND STRESS AND WHERE YOU...
- Have learned important tools for optimizing health and wellness, and you apply them to enhance your own quality of life as well as in your yoga teaching.
- Are a pioneer in reaching students who are unable to take up yoga the way it is currently being taught. This includes the 80+ million who are interested in starting yoga, and are looking for teachers who can serve their needs.

When Julie said that so many teachers say "I can see something is wrong, but I don't know what it is and I don't know how to fix it," I connected to that. My 200 hour teacher training was what I consider very basic. And that is to be expected in the first 200 hours. I am so excited to learn more through this training. I want nothing more than to help my students. I think it's why we all become yoga instructors. We are helpers at our very nature.
At 52 years old and a new yoga teacher, it is often overwhelming to be made aware of the volume of information that I don't know. This course gives me enough information that I can begin to teach in the way that you promote - being able to teach people who need yoga but are unable to access it because of the way it is being taught today.
~Susan B.
I am just finishing teaching my first four-week session on Posture Improvement and it was a great experience! The class filled in a week and a half with two on the waiting list.
This course has been a confidence-builder and equipper for me. I am learning through so many avenues, including my teaching of the material and look forward to building on that over time. I would also add that the class had a lot of fun together and we may continue with occasional classes over time.
Gold stars to the Yoga U crew!!!
~Carolyn E.
Just want to say how valuable this material is to me. You have endeavored to make all the mentoring and Q & A sessions 100% accessible to all of us (even us international students!) and the training modules themselves are top quality teaching. This course is making me a better teacher.
When I started teaching the first course I learned in the training, several participants told me after Week 2 (Stretch) that they felt a noticeable difference in their bodies which they did not have after Week 1.
What is helpful with this material is knowing the theme of the class that is part of the overall curriculum for the courses I'm teaching and exactly what I am trying to accomplish progressively in each class. This enables me to easily add (and leave out) some things as I keep awareness on the goals of each class.
~Cathy G.
This presentation is helping me to connect the dots from all my other varied yoga trainings and has given me so much more confidence. The size of each module/lessons is perfect as it gives me time to absorb information before building on it. The handouts and video workshops are an invaluable addition to my yoga resources.
Having the scheduled online mentoring really helps to personalize this experience. It’s also a great way to bond with other students. I’ll never stop being a student of Yoga, especially having YogaU so readily available and accessible to my lifestyle. I can log on and learn at any time of day.
This Yoga Wellness Certification is a perfect blend of science, art form, practicality and the magic one experiences in the (virtual) presence of the right teacher! My heart is open to you all, I’m just loving this.

What's Different?
Learn the 3 Elements of Building a Sustainable Yoga Teaching Practice
What’s the biggest misunderstanding in yoga today?
That you can just go into any yoga studio and start practicing yoga. You don’t just start walking. You don’t just start riding your bike. You don’t just start driving your car.
You have to learn it.
Yoga is no different. Yoga isn’t just about putting your body into shapes – it’s about so much more: Developing body awareness and proprioception, learning to live more healthily.
