Yoga, from the Sanscrit word for “unite”, has been around as a practice for nearly 5,000 years. The physical form of practice as we know it today is increasingly popular for the health benefits and mental wellness it provides. Yet stepping into the realm of teaching often feels like a new and foreign journey for fitness professionals.
NETA’s Yoga Foundations specialty certification provides the knowledge, practice, and experience for you to being your yoga teaching journey, equipping you with not only the necessary skills, but the confidence to reach your students and grow your practice. In-depth breakdowns of poses and a discussion of anatomy and physiology ensures safety and effectiveness of programming, while a deep look at pranayama (breathing) and yoga philosophy elevates your teaching of the physical to an immersive experience you create for students in-class and beyond. Upon completion of Yoga Foundations, participants have noted not only an increase in their capability to teach, but an enhanced personal practice that benefits multiple aspects of their lives and careers.
